EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of 18th-century Japanese theater, showcasing the renowned actors Sakakiyama Sangoro and Segawa Kikunojo II in their mesmerizing roles. The play depicted is "Hatsugai Wada no Sakamori" performed at the Nakamura Theater in January 1759 during the vibrant Edo period. In this scene, Sakakiyama Sangoro embodies the page boy Kichisaburo with youthful charm and grace. His elaborate costume, meticulously designed by Torii Kiyomitsu, showcases intricate patterns and rich colors that reflect the fashion trends of that era. Meanwhile, Segawa Kikunojo II captivates as Oshichi, a female impersonator known as an onnagata. With flawless poise and delicate gestures, he brings depth to his character's emotions. The black color woodblock print adds a sense of drama to this composition while highlighting every detail of their attire. The cartouche framing further enhances its artistic appeal. As we gaze upon this masterpiece from centuries ago, we are transported into a world where acting was elevated to an art form. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Kabuki theater and its ability to captivate audiences across time and continents. This print now resides within the esteemed Art Institute Chicago's collection, serving as a reminder of Japan's artistic heritage and contributing to our understanding of Asian arts. Its presence in this gallery allows us all to appreciate Torii Kiyomitsu's mastery in capturing both beauty and emotion through his prints.
