EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Utagawa Toyokuni I between 1805 and 1810, showcases the distinguished actor Matsumoto Hanshiro, also known as Ichikawa Komazo or Ichikawa Komazo II, in his full regalia during the Edo period of Japan. The actor, depicted standing in profile, dons an elegant kimono adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors. His hair, styled in the traditional hanataka koshiro, is swept back and held in place by a decorative hairpin. The actor's sleeves, rolled up at the elbow, reveal his toned arms and dedication to his craft. The print, a prime example of the ukiyo-e genre, showcases the rich heritage and artistry of Japan's thespian community during the nineteenth century. The actor's expressive profile and the meticulously detailed calligraphy add to the overall allure and sophistication of the piece. The print's background, featuring a serene landscape, further emphasizes the harmony between the natural world and the human spirit. This stunning work of art, now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the world of Kabuki theater during the Tokugawa period. The intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship make it a must-see for any art or history enthusiast. The print's timeless beauty and cultural significance continue to captivate and inspire audiences, making it a cherished piece of Japanese heritage.
