EDITORS COMMENTS
This polychrome woodblock print, created by Torii Kiyohiro in the 18th century, showcases "The First Nakamura Sukegoro in the Role of Omi Kotoda in 'Kiku wa Mukashi Soga-monogatari'". The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life this moment from Edo period entertainment. In this artwork, we see a full-length depiction of Nakamura Sukegoro, a renowned actor of his time. He is dressed as Omi Kotoda, a character from the famous play "Kiku wa Mukashi Soga-monogatari", known for its dramatic storytelling. With ink and color on paper technique, Kiyohiro skillfully captures every nuance of the actor's expression and costume. What makes this print truly unique is the unexpected presence of an amphibian companion. A small frog perches on a scroll held by Sukegoro himself. This whimsical addition adds an element of surprise and intrigue to the composition. As we admire this heritage art piece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, it transports us back to 18th-century Japan. It serves as a reminder that theater has always been an integral part of Japanese culture and that actors like Nakamura Sukegoro were revered for their talent and dedication. Through Kiyohiro's masterful printing techniques, he immortalizes not only the actor but also his role within Japanese society during that era. This woodblock print stands as
