EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho in about 1776, showcases Nakamura Nakazo I in the role of Ono Sadakuro from the classic Japanese drama "Kanadehon Chushingura" (The Treasury of the Forty-Seven Loyal Retainers). The print is a testament to the rich artistic traditions of the Edo period (1603-1868) and the Katsukawa School. Nakamura Nakazo I is depicted wearing the traditional kimono and hakama (split skirt) of the Kabuki theater, with a samurai's sword, or katana, slung over his shoulder. The intricate details of his apparel, from the bold patterns and vibrant colors to the precise folds and creases, are meticulously rendered in the color woodblock print technique. The background of the print features the iconic scene from the drama, with the loyal retainer Ono Sadakuro standing before Lord Hidetsuru, who is being entertained by a geisha. Sadakuro, who is part of the Loyal League of the Forty-Seven Ronin, is waiting for an opportunity to avenge his lord's honor. The calligraphy at the bottom of the print, written in the Kana script, reads "Kanadehon Chushingura," further emphasizing the connection between the print and the beloved Japanese literature. This masterpiece is a stunning example of the fusion of art, literature, and theater that characterized the 18th century in Japan.
