EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 18th-century print by Torii Kiyomasu, we are transported to the vibrant world of Japanese kabuki theater. The image features three renowned actors in their elaborate costumes, bringing to life the characters from the play "Sazareishi Suehiro Genji". At the center of the composition stands Tamazawa Saijiro I as Ushiwakamaru, exuding strength and determination with his striking black attire. To his left is Segawa Kikunojo I as Oroku, a female impersonator who captivates with her graceful presence and elegant green kimono. On the right side of the print, Otani Oniji I portrays Matano Goro, adding a touch of intensity to the scene with his hanzaburu hat and horseback stance. Kiyomasu's meticulous block printing technique brings out every intricate detail in their clothing and accessories. The use of bold colors such as black and green adds depth and drama to this mesmerizing artwork. This print not only showcases exceptional artistry but also provides us with a glimpse into Edo period entertainment culture. It reminds us of how theater has always been an integral part of human history across continents. As we admire this masterpiece at the Art Institute Chicago or any other art gallery fortunate enough to possess it, we can't help but be drawn into its allure – a testament to both Kiyomasu's skillful craftsmanship and these talented actors' ability to transport audiences through time and space.
