EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating woodblock print, "Ichikawa Danjuro Fifth as Kyo no Jiro in Disguise as Dekuroku byoe the Street Puppet-showman" created by Torii Kiyonaga around 1788, transports us to the vibrant world of Edo period Japan. This polychrome masterpiece showcases the extraordinary talent and versatility of Ichikawa Danjuro V, a renowned actor from that era. In this scene, we witness Danjuro's remarkable ability to transform himself into different characters. Here he portrays Kyo no Jiro disguised as Dekuroku, a street puppet-showman. The attention to detail is exquisite; every brushstroke brings out the rich colors and textures of his elaborate costume. Kiyonaga's artistry perfectly captures the essence of this momentous performance. We are drawn into a world where gender boundaries blur and traditional roles are challenged. Through cross-dressing and female impersonation, actors like Danjuro brought an added layer of intrigue and excitement to their craft. The print also reveals other elements that contribute to the overall ambiance: a music stand holding a shamisen (a traditional Japanese musical instrument), symbolizing the importance of music in theatrical performances; an intricately woven basket filled with props; and background figures representing fellow musicians or performers. As we gaze upon this stunning work at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we can't help but marvel at how it encapsulates both historical significance and artistic brilliance. It serves as a testament not only to Danjuro's prodigious talent but also to Kiyonaga's mastery in capturing fleeting moments on paper through ukiyo-e prints - truly an invaluable piece within our cultural heritage.
