EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned actor Sawamura Sōjūrō III in his role as Minamoto no Yoritomo. Created by the talented artist Kiyonaga, this colour woodblock print is a true masterpiece that captures the essence of traditional Japanese theatre. In this particular scene, Sawamura Sōjūrō III portrays Yoritomo with great skill and intensity. Clad in an exquisite kimono, he exudes power and authority as he raises his hat with one hand while carrying a fish in the other. The juxtaposition of these elements adds depth to the character's portrayal, hinting at both strength and vulnerability. The attention to detail in this artwork is truly remarkable. From the intricate patterns on Sōjūrō III's kimono to the delicate shading on his face, every aspect has been meticulously crafted by Kiyonaga. The vibrant colors used further enhance the overall impact of this piece, drawing viewers into its rich world. Displayed at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK, this print is part of a larger triptych series that tells a compelling story from Japanese history or mythology. It serves as a testament to both Kiyonaga's artistic prowess and Sawamura Sōjūrō III's talent as an actor. With its striking composition and evocative imagery, this print offers viewers a glimpse into Japan's theatrical past while celebrating two extraordinary artists who brought these characters to life on stage.
