EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned actor Nakayama Tomisaburo I in his mesmerizing portrayal of Lady Tsukuba, the wife of Yoshioki. Created by Toshusai Sharaku in 1794 during the Edo period, this color woodblock print is a true masterpiece of Japanese art. The image captures Nakayama Tomisaburo I standing tall and proud, dressed in an exquisite kimono adorned with a cloud pattern. The vibrant hues of pink and rose add depth to the intricate design, making it truly eye-catching. His full-length attire reflects the fashion clothing of that era, showcasing the attention to detail and craftsmanship prevalent at the time. Nakayama Tomisaburo I's performance as Lady Tsukuba exemplifies his exceptional talent as an onnagata or female impersonator in Kabuki theater. With great skill and precision, he brings this character to life on stage, captivating audiences with his dramatic flair. As we admire this historic piece at the Art Institute Chicago's gallery dedicated to Asian arts, we are transported back to 18th-century Japan. This artwork not only represents a significant cultural heritage but also serves as a testament to Nakayama Tomisaburo I's contribution to theatrical arts during that period. Toshusai Sharaku's masterful block printing technique beautifully captures every detail of Nakayama Tomisaburo I's portrayal. It is through such artworks that we can appreciate and celebrate both artistic expression and historical significance for generations to come.
