EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of 18th-century Japanese theater, showcasing the renowned actors Ichimura Uzaemon VIII and Onoe Kikugoro I in their mesmerizing roles. The image depicts Ichimura Uzaemon VIII as the fierce and enigmatic character Onio Shinzaemon, while Onoe Kikugoro I embodies the graceful courtesan Usugumo. The actors' elaborate costumes and intricate makeup transport us to a world of drama and intrigue. Their vibrant attire, adorned with rich hues of black, green, and red, showcases the artistry of traditional Japanese apparel. The detailed block printing technique used by Torii Kiyomasu adds depth to their garments, emphasizing every fold and texture. Set against a backdrop of traditional Edo-period buildings, this scene from "Nanakusa Wakayagi Soga" immerses us in an era filled with entertainment and cultural significance. The Ichimura Theater's exterior serves as a testament to its historical importance as a hub for artistic expression. Kabuki theater enthusiasts will appreciate this snapshot not only for its visual appeal but also for its portrayal of gender-bending performances. Onoe Kikugoro I skillfully portrays a female impersonator on stage—a common practice during that time—adding another layer of complexity to this remarkable piece. As we gaze upon this heritage artwork at the Art Institute Chicago's gallery space dedicated to Asian arts, we are reminded once again why Kabuki remains an enduring symbol of Japan's theatrical legacy.
