EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Japanese theater in the 18th century. The image showcases "The Actor Anegawa Daikichi as Ayame no Mae" in the renowned play "Miyo no Hana Yunzei Kagami" performed at the Morita Theater in November 1760. Created by Torii Kiyomitsu, a prominent artist of that era, this piece exemplifies his mastery of color woodblock printing. Anegawa Daikichi's portrayal of Ayame no Mae is truly mesmerizing. Dressed in an exquisite cream-colored kimono adorned with intricate designs and vibrant green accents, he embodies grace and elegance. His flawless makeup and delicate gestures bring out the character's femininity, showcasing Anegawa Daikichi's remarkable talent as a female impersonator or onnagata. Set against a backdrop featuring a majestic maple tree, this scene evokes both nature's beauty and the theatrical world colliding harmoniously. The use of cartouches adds depth to the composition while emphasizing its artistic value. As we admire this artwork at the Art Institute Chicago or any art center fortunate enough to possess it, we are transported back to Edo period Japan. We witness not only exceptional acting but also appreciate how kabuki theater served as an important form of entertainment during that time. Torii Kiyomitsu's creation stands as a testament to his skillful craftsmanship and contribution to Japanese art history. This print serves as a window into another era, allowing us to appreciate both cultural heritage and artistic excellence simultaneously
