EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print depicts two renowned actors of the early Edo period, Sawamura Sojuro I (1689-1756) and Ichimura Takenojo, in the roles of Soga Juro and Soga Goro, respectively, from the classic Japanese play "Soga Monogatari" (The Tales of the Soga). The print, dated between 1726 and 1736, showcases the dynamic interplay between the two actors during a performance. Sawamura Sojuro I, portraying Soga Juro, is shown in a kneeling position, his face expressing deep emotion as he delivers his lines. His costume, adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, adds to the authenticity of his portrayal. The actor's skillful use of gesture and facial expression conveys the intensity of the character's emotions, making the audience feel deeply connected to the story. Standing opposite Sojuro, Ichimura Takenojo embodies the character of Soga Goro. He holds a tsuzumi, a traditional Japanese drum, and strikes it rhythmically, adding to the lively atmosphere of the scene. Takenojo's energetic posture and focused expression reflect the character's determination and strength. The intricate details of the woodblock print reveal the masterful craftsmanship of the artist. The use of bold lines, vibrant colors, and dynamic composition create a visually stunning representation of the actors' performance. The print offers a glimpse into the rich history of Japanese theater and the artistry of the actors who brought these classic tales to life.
