EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of traditional Japanese theater during the Edo period. In this polychrome woodblock print, we see the renowned actor Oneo Kikugoro in his role as Soga no Goro. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life the rich cultural heritage of Japan. Standing confidently in a corner of a building, Kikugoro exudes an air of mystery and intrigue. Behind him, a water tank reflects the beauty of a blossoming plum tree, symbolizing new beginnings and heralding the arrival of another year. The hidden calendar in this artwork is particularly fascinating. It reminds us that during this time, Japan followed both lunar and solar calendars simultaneously. This allowed for adjustments between long and short months to align with natural phenomena like solstices and equinoxes. Printed on high-quality paper using ink and color techniques unique to Japanese artistry, this piece showcases Torii Kiyomasu's mastery as a printmaker. His attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Artokoloro's Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to experience the magic of kabuki theater firsthand. We can almost hear the applause echoing through centuries as Onoe Kikugoro captivates audiences with his mesmerizing performance on stage.
