EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases the exquisite artistry of Utagawa Toyokuni, a renowned artist from 1786 to 1865. Created between 1848 and 1854, this woodcut masterpiece consists of three panels that measure 36.2 x 24.5 cm (left panel), 36 x 24.4 cm (center panel), and 35.9 x 24.5 cm (right panel). The print depicts three actors portraying iconic characters in Japanese theater: Hakata KojurAc, Kezori Kuemon, and Komachiya SAcshichi. The left panel shows two actors aboard a ship while the center panel features one actor immersed in water, symbolizing their respective roles as a smuggler or pirate (Hakata KojurAc), merchant (Komachiya SAcshichi), and accomplice (Kezori Kuemon). Toyokuni's attention to detail is evident in his use of vibrant colors that bring life to each character's costume and expression, capturing their individual personalities with precision. As we admire this remarkable artwork by Utagawa Toyokuni, it transports us back to a time when traditional Japanese theater thrived with its rich storytelling and dynamic performances. This print serves as both an homage to these timeless theatrical traditions and as a testament to the enduring legacy of Utagawa Toyokuni's artistic brilliance. Caption by Quint Lox
