EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Bando Hikosaburo III as Kitsugi Magoemon and the Rest Place Inamura between Yoshida and Goyu," was created by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Kunisada in 1852. This print is part of the series "Tokaido Intermediate Stations," which depicts scenes from the famous "Fifty-Three Stations of the Tokaido Road." The central figure of the print is the actor Bando Hikosaburo III, portrayed as the cunning and resourceful character Kitsugi Magoemon. Magoemon is known for his ability to turn every situation to his advantage, often through clever financial schemes. In this scene, he is shown taking a rest stop at the Inamura inn, located between Yoshida and Goyu. Magoemon is dressed in the traditional kimono and accessories of the Edo period, complete with a brown, patterned robe, a wide-brimmed hat, and a pair of elegant earrings. He is depicted holding a money bag, a clear indication of his financial savvy. The background of the print shows the bustling activity of the inn, with other travelers and entertainers, including Gototei, Ichiyosai, and Kinraisha, all dressed in their finest apparel. This stunning print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the 19th century. It showcases the intricacies of Kabuki theater, the fashion of the time, and the importance of rest stops along the long journey of the Tokaido Road. Today, it is a valuable addition to the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
