EDITORS COMMENTS
Saruwaka Shibaimachi The Theater District in Saruwaka (Cho): The Actor Ichikawa Ebizo V in the Role of Hitotsuya no Baba The Old Woman of the Lonely House, 1863" is a stunning woodblock print from the "Flowers of Edo with Views of Famous Places" series, showcasing the vibrant and intricate world of Kabuki theater during the Edo period in Japan. This print is a collaborative work by renowned artists Utagawa Kunisada, Utagawa Hiroshige II, Utagawa Yoshitora, and Utagawa Kuniyoshi, as well as Torii Kiyokuni. The print depicts the famous actor Ichikawa Ebizo V, also known as Danjuro VII, in the role of Hitotsuya no Baba, or The Old Woman of the Lonely House, from the Kabuki play "Yotsuya Kaidan." Ebizo V is dressed in traditional Kabuki apparel, wearing a striking kimono with intricate patterns and a bold hat. He is depicted in a full-length pose, holding a hatchet in one hand and an elderly woman, possibly his wife, in the other. The woman, dressed in a simple kimono with a red obi, looks frightened and distressed, her mouth open in a silent scream. The background of the print is a bustling theater district, with various other actors and theatergoers in traditional Edo period clothing milling about. The print is rich in detail, with intricate patterns and textures, from the folds of the actors' kimonos to the intricate woodgrain of the buildings in the background. The use of color is masterful, with bold reds and blues contrasting against muted earth tones. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period, showcasing the beauty and intricacy of Kabuki theater and the fashion of the time. It is a must-have for any collection of Asian art or for anyone interested in the history of theater and Japanese culture.
