EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned actor Ichikawa Raizo I in his mesmerizing portrayal of Minamoto no Yoshitsune. Taken during a performance of the play "Nihon ga Hana Hogan Biiki" at Nakamura Theater in November 1761, this image captures the essence of 18th-century Japanese theater. Torii Kiyomitsu, a masterful artist and creator of this woodblock print, skillfully brings to life every intricate detail of Ichikawa Raizo I's costume and demeanor. The vibrant colors and meticulous design highlight the elegance and grandeur associated with kabuki performances during the Edo period. Ichikawa Raizo I stands tall, exuding confidence as he holds a drum in one hand while gracefully waving a fan with the other. His traditional kimono adorned with rich green hues complements his expressive face, capturing both strength and vulnerability simultaneously. The composition is further enhanced by Kiyomitsu's use of cartouche framing, which adds depth to the scene while emphasizing its artistic value. This exquisite piece serves as a testament to Japan's rich cultural heritage and artistic prowess. Displayed within an art gallery or institute such as The Art Institute Chicago, this print would undoubtedly captivate viewers from all walks of life. It offers an intriguing glimpse into Asian arts and acting traditions that have shaped centuries-old theatrical practices across continents.
