EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the talented actors Segawa Kikujiro I as Oshichi and Sanjo Kantaro II as Kichisaburo in the renowned play "Shochikubai Kongen Soga" performed at the Ichimura Theater in 1732. The image, created by Nishimura Shigenobu during the Edo period, beautifully captures the essence of traditional Japanese theater. The actors are dressed in exquisite costumes, reflecting the fashion and style of eighteenth-century Japan. Their vibrant kimonos adorned with intricate patterns add a touch of elegance to their characters. With meticulous attention to detail, Shigenobu's hand-colored woodblock print brings these historical figures to life. Kikujiro I portrays Oshichi with grace and poise, while Kantaro II embodies Kichisaburo's character with intensity and emotion. As onnagatas or female impersonators, they skillfully blur gender boundaries through their performances. Surrounded by lush foliage and a pot plant in the background, this portrait exudes a sense of natural beauty that complements the artistry displayed on stage. The use of black color throughout adds depth and contrast to the composition. This remarkable artwork not only highlights the talent of these actors but also serves as a testament to Japan's rich cultural heritage. It invites viewers into a world where drama meets tradition, capturing an unforgettable moment from one of history's most celebrated plays.
