EDITORS COMMENTS
Nakumura Shukaku in Ichiwa Ichigon, 1879" is a captivating full-length woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, depicting the famous Kabuki actor Nakamura Shikaku. This print is part of Yoshitoshi's "News from the Kabuki Theater" series and dates back to the late 19th century, specifically the Meiji Era. The image captures Shikaku in a contemplative moment as he sits inside a traditional Japanese shop, Ichiwa Ichigon, during a rainy day. The contrast between the dry, indoor setting and the wet, rainy scene outside is striking, with the artist expertly using color and contrast to bring the scene to life. Shikaku is dressed in traditional Kabuki theater attire, complete with intricate accessories and elaborate headpiece. Despite the bad weather, he is barefoot, adding to the authenticity of the scene. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate calligraphy on the shop's wall and the delicate parasol peeking out from the background. The print also features other notable Kabuki actors of the time, including Denkuro Nakamura and Onoe Baikaku, adding to the historic significance of the image. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Meiji Period and is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, fashion, or Kabuki theater history. Currently, this woodblock print can be found in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences, offering a glimpse into the past and the world of Kabuki theater during the late 19th century.
