EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Rokudai-me Ichikawa Danjuro as Soga no Goro Tokimune" by Toshusai Sharaku, dates back to the 18th century in Japan during the Edo period. The print depicts the renowned Kabuki actor Ichikawa Danjuro Vl, portraying the role of Soga no Goro Tokimune. The intricate design showcases Danjuro's impeccable attire, featuring a vibrant hosoban nishiki e pattern, accentuated by the contrasting colors of the actor's kimono and the creeping vines that adorn the background. The legendary figure of Soga no Goro Tokimune, a character from Japanese literature, is depicted with a serious expression, holding a fan in one hand and a butterfly net in the other. The presence of butterflies and other insects surrounding him adds an element of whimsy and intrigue to the print. The attention to detail in the print is remarkable, from the intricate patterns on Danjuro's clothing to the delicate rendering of the butterflies and other insects. This print is a testament to the artistic school of the time, which emphasized the importance of capturing the essence of the subject matter through intricate design and vivid colors. The print is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, particularly those focused on the arts of Asia or the history of Kabuki theatre. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the importance of preserving and celebrating its artistic traditions.
