EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of traditional Japanese theater in the 18th century. Created by Torii Kiyomasu, it features the renowned actors Segawa Kikunojo I as Ochiyo and Matsushima Kichisaburo as Ochiyo's spirit in the play "Higashiyama Gojitsu Yaoya Hanbei". The performance took place at the Nakamura Theater in August 1744. The image showcases the exquisite artistry of block printing, with vibrant colors and intricate details bringing the characters to life. Both actors are dressed in elaborate costumes that reflect their respective roles. Segawa Kikunojo I portrays Ochiyo, while Matsushima Kichisaburo embodies her ethereal spirit. The scene is set against a backdrop of a beautiful garden with blooming flowers, symbolizing both tranquility and drama. A green fence adds depth to the composition, creating a sense of space within this theatrical world. Kabuki theater was highly popular during Japan's Edo period, known for its dramatic performances and skilled female impersonators like Segawa Kikunojo I. This art form not only entertained audiences but also served as an important cultural expression. Torii Kiyomasu's print preserves this historical moment, allowing us to appreciate the talent and craftsmanship involved in kabuki theater during that time. It serves as a testament to Japan's rich artistic heritage and continues to captivate viewers today at institutions such as The Art Institute of Chicago.
