EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant polychrome woodblock print, titled "Imaginary portrait, Shuihuzhuan of Stage: Toryudai (Mitate Suikoden Torodai) - Actor" captures the essence of traditional Japanese theater during the Meiji period. Created by renowned artist Toyohara Kunichika in 1875, this piece showcases actor Bando Hikozaburo as Nyuunryu with remarkable detail and skill. The print is a testament to the rich heritage art of Japan, highlighting the country's artistic school and its mastery of ukiyo-e printing techniques. The use of ink and color on paper brings out every intricate gesture and expression on Bando Hikozaburo's face, showcasing his talent as a thespian. In this scene, we witness the actor gesturing with his hand in a dramatic manner that adds depth to his character portrayal. The bold colors and dynamic composition draw viewers into an imaginary world where they can almost hear the actors' voices echoing through time. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this nineteenth-century masterpiece continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty. It serves as a reminder of Japan's cultural legacy and its enduring impact on entertainment around the world. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork by Toyohara Kunichika, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand the magic and allure of traditional Japanese theater.
