EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "The interior of the Nakamura Theatre, Sakai Street" takes us back in time to witness a mesmerizing performance unfolding on stage. Created by Yoshimara Utagawa during the 19th century, this print showcases the incredible talent and artistry that characterized Japanese theater. From the second-floor gallery (sajiki), we observe a scene from Sukeroku yukari no Edo zakura (Sukeroku's affinity for the cherry blossoms of Edo). The intricate set design transports us to another world as we witness actors immersed in their roles, bringing characters to life with their skillful performances. The bustling auditorium is filled with an enthusiastic crowd, eagerly watching every movement on stage. The energy within the theater is palpable as audience members become engrossed in this dramatic spectacle. This woodblock print captures not only the essence of traditional Japanese theater but also provides a glimpse into society at that time. Sadly, this particular incarnation of Nakamura Theatre was destroyed by fire in 1841 and later relocated to Saruwaka Street. However, through this artwork preserved at Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, UK, we can still appreciate its grandeur and historical significance. Immerse yourself in this rich cultural experience as you explore every detail captured within this remarkable woodblock print by Yoshimara Utagawa.
