EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Kuniteru, showcases a scene from a Kabuki play between circa 1843 and circa 1855. The print is titled "Actor in the Role of Asada Itcho," featuring Ichikawa Danjuro VIII as Tsukushi Gonroku, Bando Shuka as Yakko no Koman, and Nakamura Utaemon IV as Asada Tobei in Danjo Date kurabe. Kabuki is a traditional Japanese form of drama that originated in the 17th century and is renowned for its elaborate costumes, dramatic acting, and vibrant colors. In this print, the actors are depicted in full regalia, with intricate details that highlight their individual characters. Ichikawa Danjuro VIII, portrayed as Tsukushi Gonroku, wears a striking red and gold kimono, accessorized with a carriage boot and a traditional Japanese hat. Bando Shuka, as Yakko no Koman, dons a beautiful blue and white kimono, adorned with delicate floral patterns. Nakamura Utaemon IV, as Asada Tobei, is dressed in a simple brown kimono, with a serious expression on his face. The print also features Fujima Kamesaburo, who is depicted in the background, wearing a traditional Japanese robe and holding a fan. The actors are surrounded by a serene landscape, with a tranquil lake and mountains in the background. This stunning work of art is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the art of Kabuki. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of Japanese theater during the 19th century. The intricate details, bold colors, and dynamic poses make this print a true masterpiece that continues to captivate audiences to this day.
