This print showcases the incredible talent of Japanese woodblock master, Kuniyoshi Utagawa. Known for his unique style and love for the bizarre and ghoulish, Kuniyoshi's prints were highly sought after during his time. In fact, his designs were so admired that young men would often request to have them tattooed on their bodies. The featured print is a depiction from the mimic of 100 poems edited in the 12th century. It portrays an unfortunate wife lamenting her husband's absence from home the previous night. Created between 1845 and 1847, this particular piece was published by Iba-Ya Sensaburo and holds a special place in my personal collection. In this image, we see Nakamura Utaemon IV portraying Fujiya Izaemon in the play "Kuruwa BunshA". The actor's zen-like presence exudes strength and grace as he embodies this samurai character. The attention to detail in both carving and printing is evident through every line and color. As you admire this remarkable artwork, let yourself be transported into ancient Japan where storytelling through kabuki theater was at its peak. Immerse yourself in Asian culture with its rich traditions and fascinating history captured within this stunning woodblock print by Bernard Allum from Fine Art Storehouse.
