EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Kabuki theater, showcasing the legendary actor Ichikawa Danjuro VII in his iconic Shibaraku role. With an air of anticipation, he peeks over a curtain adorned with three ropes at the top, creating a sense of mystery and intrigue. The scene is from the play Shitenno, which was performed multiple times in the 1820s at the Tamagawa theater in Edo. The accompanying poem adds depth to this image as it reflects on Danjuro's connection to the Kiba district where he resided. It beautifully describes how spring has arrived in Kiba through imagery of singing wood piles harmonizing with songbirds and frogs' rhythms. This juxtaposition between nature and urban life highlights both Danjuro's artistry on stage and his appreciation for his surroundings offstage. Utagawa Kunimitsu masterfully captured this moment on paper using polishing techniques, resulting in a visually stunning piece that measures 203 mm by 182 mm. Dating back to around 1820, this artwork showcases Japan's rich cultural heritage and pays homage to one of its most celebrated actors. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, we are transported into a world where tradition meets performance art - a testament to Ichikawa Danjuro VII's enduring legacy as well as Utagawa Kunimitsu's artistic prowess.
