EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, depicts Bando Mitsugoro I in the role of Abbot Saimyo-ji Tokiyori from the Joruri Onna Hachi no Ki (A Female Version of The Potted Trees) in Part Two of the play Onna Aruji Hatsuyuki no Sekai (A Woman as Master: The World of the First Snow), performed at the Morita Theater on the first day of the eleventh month in 1773. In this image, Mitsugoro I masterfully portrays the disguised monk, donning a simple black robe and hat, with a contemplative expression. The intricate details of the monk's apparel, from the folds of the kimono to the texture of the hat, are expertly captured through the art of color woodblock printing. The print is a testament to the artistic school of Katsukawa, which flourished during the Edo period in Japan. The use of bold lines and deep colors adds to the overall dramatic effect, transporting the viewer to the world of Kabuki theater and the rich cultural heritage of eighteenth-century Japan.
