EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Ichikawa Yaozo III as Soga no Juro Sukenari" (Sandai-me Ichikawa Yaozo no Soga no Juro Sukenari), dates back to the 18th century in Japan during the Edo period. Created by the renowned artist Toshusai Sharaku, this masterpiece showcases Ichikawa Yaozo III, a prominent Kabuki actor, portraying the character Soga no Juro Sukenari from the legendary Tale of the Soga Brothers (Soga Monogatari). The intricately designed print is a testament to the artistic school of Hosoban Nishiki-e, characterized by its monochromatic color palette and minimalist yet expressive patterns. The actor is depicted wearing a traditional Japanese kimono, complete with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, symbolizing his samurai status. His intense gaze and dramatic pose convey the depth of emotion required for his Kabuki role. This print is a valuable piece of Asian art, showcasing the rich heritage of Japanese culture, literature, and drama. It offers a glimpse into the world of Kabuki theatre, an essential form of entertainment during the Edo period. The print's historical significance and artistic merit make it a must-have for any art centre, gallery, or institute dedicated to Asian or world art. The print's title, "Sandai-me Ichikawa Yaozo no Soga no Juro Sukenari," translates to "The Third Ichikawa Yaozo as Soga no Juro Sukenari." The number "sandai-me" indicates that this is the third portrayal of the character by Ichikawa Yaozo, highlighting the actor's dedication and skill in mastering the role. This stunning woodblock print is a rare and valuable addition to any collection, offering a unique insight into the world of Japanese Kabuki theatre and the artistic genius of Toshusai Sharaku.
