The Actor Segawa Kikunojo III as Shirabyoshi Hisakata of Miyako Kujo - A Captivating Display of Edo Period Theatre
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This stunning black and pink color woodblock print, created by Toshusai Sharaku in 1794 during the Edo period, captures the essence of traditional Japanese theatre. The print showcases the renowned kabuki actor Segawa Kikunojo III in his mesmerizing portrayal of Shirabyoshi Hisakata. Dressed in an exquisite kimono adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, Kikunojo III embodies the grace and elegance expected from a female impersonator or onnagata. With delicate movements and expressive gestures, he brings to life the character's emotions and story. The detailed block printing technique used by Sharaku adds depth to this portrait, highlighting every nuance of Kikunojo III's features. The artist skillfully captures both the strength and vulnerability that define this iconic performer. As we gaze upon this artwork at the Art Institute Chicago, we are transported back to 18th century Japan. We can almost hear the rhythmic beats of traditional music accompanying Kikunojo III's dance performance. This piece serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage found within Asian arts. Through this image, Toshusai Sharaku immortalizes not only Segawa Kikunojo III but also an entire era of theatrical excellence. It reminds us that art has no boundaries - it transcends time, continents, and genders - leaving a lasting impression on all who have had the privilege to witness its magic.
