EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Mimasu Gennosuke as a Tobacco Seller," showcases the renowned Japanese actor Mimasu Gennosuke in an extraordinary role during the Edo period, around the 1820s. Created by the celebrated artist Utagawa Kunisada, this full-length portrait masterfully captures the essence of the actor's performance in Kabuki theatre. Mimasu Gennosuke, also known as Mimasu Daigoro IV or Genshichi, is depicted here in the humble guise of a tobacco seller, dressed in a simple, patterned kimono, with a basket of tobacco on his back. His bare feet are planted firmly on the ground, and his right hand gestures towards the tobacco, inviting customers to purchase his wares. The intricate design of the print is further enhanced by the delicate calligraphy that adorns the borders, adding an air of elegance and refinement. The actor's expressive face, with its detailed features and intense gaze, conveys a sense of authenticity and emotion that transcends time. His meticulously styled hair, parted in the center and tied back in a traditional hairstyle, adds to the overall authenticity of the portrait. The artist's skillful use of color and pattern creates a visually stunning work of art that captures the essence of the Edo period and the world of Kabuki theatre. This beautiful woodblock print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the enduring legacy of its artistic traditions. It is a rare and valuable treasure that continues to captivate and inspire viewers, offering a glimpse into the past and the world of Japanese theatre during the 19th century.
