EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Sanogawa Mangiku I as Ohatsu in the Play Sogazaki Shinju," was created by the renowned artist Okumura Masanobu in the eighteenth century. The image portrays Sanogawa Mangiku I in the role of Ohatsu, a female character from the tragic love story "Sogazaki Shinju," which was performed at the Nakamura Theater in the fourth month of 1719. Ohatsu is depicted wearing an elegant kimono in black and orange hues, a color palette commonly used in traditional Japanese theater. The intricate design of the kimono is hand-colored, showcasing the artist's meticulous attention to detail. The print also features Ohatsu holding a pipe, adding to the authenticity of the portrayal. The background of the print is adorned with a garden setting, adding to the serene atmosphere of the scene. Ohatsu's male counterpart, Tokubei, is depicted in the foreground, gazing at her with longing. The print is a prime example of the Hosoban Urushi-e style, which was popular during the Edo period in Japan. Masanobu Okumura was a leading figure in the artistic school of Okumura Shinmyo, known for his mastery of the hand-colored woodblock print technique. This print is a testament to his artistic prowess and the rich cultural heritage of Japanese theater and art. The print is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, and its intricate details and vibrant colors make it a true work of art that continues to captivate viewers to this day.
