EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned actor Onoe Kikugoro III in his mesmerizing portrayal of Nagoya Sanza. The image captures a moment from the play "Sato no Haru Meibutsu Amigasa" performed at the esteemed Kawarazaki Theater in 1827 during Japan's Edo period. Onoe Kikugoro III, with his striking presence and impeccable acting skills, brings this character to life on stage. Dressed in an exquisite kimono adorned with vibrant colors and intricate designs, he embodies the essence of traditional Japanese fashion. The artist Utagawa Kunisada skillfully depicts every detail of this scene through his masterful block printing technique. From the delicate calligraphy to the carefully crafted bird perched on a branch, each element contributes to the overall beauty and harmony of the composition. In this particular diptych surimono, we see Onoe Kikugoro III standing confidently with legs apart, showcasing both strength and grace. His basket hat adds a touch of whimsy to his attire while symbolizing a connection to nature. As we admire this artwork at the Art Institute Chicago's Asian art gallery, we are transported back in time to witness not only an exceptional performance but also a glimpse into Japan's rich cultural heritage. This piece serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of kabuki theater and its ability to captivate audiences for centuries.
