EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Matsumoto Koshiro V in the iconic role of Matsuomaru, taken from the renowned Tokaido Road series. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this colour lithograph, created by Kunisada Utagawa (Toyokuni III), transport viewers to a world of Japanese theatre and tradition. The image captures Matsumoto Koshiro V in character as Matsuomaru, exuding an air of mystery and intensity. Dressed in elaborate traditional attire, he stands beside a sedan chair, which serves as both a mode of transportation and a symbol of his high status. The backdrop reveals the station depicted in Matsuno-o, adding depth to the scene. Kunisada's masterful use of color brings life to every element within the composition - from the lush landscape surrounding Matsuomaru to the intricately designed cartouche framing his figure. This print not only highlights Matsumoto Koshiro V's exceptional acting skills but also pays homage to Japan's rich theatrical heritage. Housed at the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, this artwork is part of their extensive collection that celebrates Eastern art forms. As we admire this piece today, it reminds us how art can transcend time and space while preserving cultural traditions for future generations to appreciate.
