EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ichikawa Danjūrō II Role Soga Gorō Play Yanone" transports us back to the vibrant world of Edo period Japan. Created around 1790, during a time when polychrome woodblock prints flourished, this artwork showcases the mastery of Torii Kiyonaga, one of the prominent artists from the Torii school. The focal point of this print is Ichikawa Danjūrō II, an esteemed kabuki actor who mesmerized audiences with his performances. Here he assumes the role of Soga Gorō, a legendary character known for seeking revenge against his father's murderer. The intensity and determination in Danjūrō's expression are palpable as he wields a yanone (arrowhead) in preparation for battle. Kiyonaga skillfully captures every intricate detail using ink and color on paper. His meticulous brushwork brings life to each fold in Danjūrō's elaborate costume and highlights the dynamic movement within the composition. This particular image was copied by Kiyonaga from an earlier work by Kiyonobu, showcasing how artistic inspiration flowed through generations within this rich tradition. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Artokoloro's Liszt Collection, we are transported to a bygone era filled with theatrical grandeur and cultural significance. It serves as a testament to both the talent of its creator and the enduring legacy left behind by Kabuki theater during Japan
