EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned actors Otani Ryuzaemon II and Arashi Tominosuke I in their mesmerizing roles as Kajiwara Genta and Oiso no Tora. Created by the talented artist Nishimura Shigenaga, this artwork captures a pivotal moment from the play "Tamagushi Yosooi Soga" which was performed at the Ichimura Theater in January 1747. The image transports us back to the vibrant Edo period, immersing us in its rich cultural heritage. The actors' elaborate costumes and meticulously designed apparel reflect the attention to detail that characterized this artistic era. Their colorful kimonos, complemented by intricate calligraphy and decorative cartouches, exemplify the beauty of traditional Japanese fashion. As we delve into this snapshot of history, we are reminded of kabuki's enduring influence on Japanese entertainment. Kabuki is an art form that combines drama, music, dance, and stunning visuals to captivate audiences. In particular, it is fascinating to witness Arashi Tominosuke I's portrayal of Oiso no Tora—a male actor skillfully transforming himself into a female character through onnagata (female impersonation). Nishimura Shigenaga's masterful block printing technique brings these characters to life with remarkable precision. The handheld fan held by one of them adds a touch of elegance while hinting at their role within society. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers us a glimpse into Japan's artistic legacy during the 18th century. It stands as a testament to both Nishimura Shigenaga's talent as an artist and Otani Ryuzaemon II and Arashi Tominosuke I's exceptional skills as kabuki performers.
