EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print by Utagawa Toyokuni I, dating back to the 1790s, showcases two renowned Kabuki actors of the Edo period, Ichikawa Hakuen I and Sawamura Sojuro III. The image, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan, is filled with intrigue and drama. Ichikawa Hakuen I, portrayed on the left, is dressed in a striking gray kimono with a pattern of calligraphy and a fan in his hand. His serious expression and the blade he holds suggest that he is about to deliver a dramatic line or enact a pivotal scene in a Kabuki play. On the right, Sawamura Sojuro III, dressed in a more subdued outfit, is shown with a dog and a cat by his side. The animals add an element of whimsy to the image, contrasting the intensity of Ichikawa Hakuen I's portrayal. The title "Kinokuniya Tosshi" is inscribed at the bottom, indicating that this print was published by Kinokuniya, a prominent publisher during the Edo period. The print is a stunning example of the colorful and detailed woodblock prints that were popular during the 18th century in Japan. It offers a glimpse into the world of Kabuki theater and the fashion of the time, with intricate patterns and bold colors adorning the actors' clothing. This print is a must-have for any collection of Asian art or for those interested in the history of theater and fashion.
