EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Torii Kiyonaga transports us back to the vibrant world of 18th-century Japanese theater. Titled "The Actors Ichikawa Monnosuke II as Miyukinosuke, Segawa Kikunojo III as Hatsune-hime, and Ichikawa Danjuro V as Ninnaji no Saibei" this artwork captures a moment from the joruri play "Shitenno Oe no Yamairi" performed at the Kiri Theater in November 1785. In this scene, we witness the skillful portrayal of three renowned actors. The central figure is Ichikawa Monnosuke II, embodying the character of Miyukinosuke with his expressive gestures and intense gaze. Flanking him on either side are Segawa Kikunojo III as Hatsune-hime, exuding grace and elegance in her elaborate costume, and Ichikawa Danjuro V as Ninnaji no Saibei, radiating power through his commanding presence. Kiyonaga's mastery of color woodblock printing is evident in this piece. The rich hues of black and brown dominate the composition while accents of green add depth to their attire. Each actor's clothing dress showcases intricate patterns that reflect both historical accuracy and artistic flair. As we admire this snapshot from Edo period theater culture, we are reminded of its enduring legacy. This artwork serves not only as a visual delight but also a testament to the artistry and dedication exhibited by these legendary performers who brought stories to life on stage for audiences centuries ago.
