EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Kunisada in 1852, showcases Ichikawa Danzo V in the role of Kakibenosuke from the play "Yui" in the series "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido." The actor is depicted aboard a boat, likely making a stop at one of the stations along the famous Tokaido Road. His intricately designed kimono, adorned with a brown and gold collar and a geometric pattern, reflects the elegant fashion of the Edo period. The actor's expressive face and detailed hairstyle, featuring a high topknot and a braided queue, convey the intensity and passion of his character. The print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japanese art and theater during the 19th century. The use of color woodblock printing allowed for intricate details and vibrant hues, resulting in a stunning visual representation of the actor and his character. The print also provides a glimpse into the world of Kabuki theater, a popular form of entertainment during the Edo period, where actors like Ichikawa Danzo V would travel along the Tokaido Road, performing at various stations and bringing joy and excitement to the people. This print is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art or theater history, and its preservation in institutions such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art ensures that future generations can appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of Utagawa Kunisada and the world of Kabuki theater.
