EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Japanese theater in the 18th century. The image showcases the renowned actor Onoe Kikugoro I, portraying the character Kyo no Jiro in the play "Fujibumi Sakae Soga" which was performed at the Ichimura Theater in February 1763. Created by Torii Kiyomitsu, a master of block printing, this artwork beautifully depicts the artistry and skill of both actor and artist. Onoe Kikugoro I's striking presence is enhanced by his traditional attire, showcasing intricate details that reflect the fashion of Edo period Japan. His black kimono with vibrant calligraphy designs exudes elegance and sophistication. Completing his ensemble are a basket hat and geta footwear, adding an authentic touch to his character portrayal. Kiyomitsu's mastery shines through in this color woodblock print as he expertly captures every nuance of Onoe Kikugoro I's performance. The use of bold colors and precise lines brings depth and life to this historical moment on stage. As we admire this piece at the Art Institute Chicago, we are transported back to a time when kabuki theater reigned supreme as one of Japan's most beloved forms of entertainment. This artwork serves as a testament to both cultural heritage and artistic excellence, reminding us of the enduring power that theater holds across centuries and continents.
