EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned actor Onoe Kikugorō III in his iconic role as Ōboshi Yuranosuke. Created by the talented artist Kunisada Utagawa, also known as Toyokuni III, this vibrant colour woodblock print captures the essence of Japanese Kabuki theatre. Onoe Kikugorō III (1784-1849) was a highly respected and influential figure in Kabuki theatre during the Edo period. Known for his exceptional acting skills and striking stage presence, he brought characters to life with great intensity and emotion. In this particular portrayal, Onoe Kikugorō III embodies Ōboshi Yuranosuke, a character from the famous play "Chūshingura" or "The Treasury of Loyal Retainers". Clad in an exquisite robe adorned with intricate patterns and large sleeves that flow gracefully around him, he exudes power and elegance. The meticulously detailed costume reflects both historical accuracy and artistic flair. With a sword at his side and wearing traditional sandals and trousers called hakama, Onoe Kikugorō III epitomizes the quintessential image of a samurai warrior. His intense gaze suggests determination as he prepares to embark on a journey filled with honor, loyalty, and revenge. This remarkable print is part of The Stapleton Collection—an invaluable treasure that allows us to appreciate not only the skillful artistry involved but also provides insight into Japan's rich cultural heritage.
