EDITORS COMMENTS
This triptych of polychrome woodblock prints, created by Toyohara Kunichika in the 19th century, showcases the mesmerizing world of Kabuki theater. The print features three prominent actors of the time: Onoe Kikugoro V as Otowake Neko no ke on the right, Bando Mitsugoro IV as Aisho Michinoku in the center, and Onoe Kikugoro V again as Isogai Mibunosuke on the left. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life these iconic characters from the play Tokai Kidan Nekomata Yashiki. Each actor's facial expressions convey a range of emotions, capturing their dedication to their craft and immersing viewers into this dramatic scene. Kabuki, a traditional form of Japanese theater known for its elaborate costumes and exaggerated acting style, is beautifully represented in this artwork. The ukiyo-e technique used by Kunichika adds depth and texture to each character's attire while highlighting delicate butterflies fluttering around them. As we gaze upon this masterpiece from Japan's Meiji period at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), we are transported back in time to witness these talented performers captivate audiences with their skillful portrayal of complex roles. This print serves as a testament to both the artistic prowess of Toyohara Kunichika and the enduring legacy of Kabuki theater itself.
