The Actor Bando Mitsugoro II in Ceremonial Robes with Kamishimo, 1751-1788 - A Captivating Glimpse into Edo Period Entertainment
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This stunning polychrome woodblock print by Eishosai Choki transports us back to the vibrant world of 18th-century Japan. Depicting the renowned actor Bando Mitsugoro II, it captures a moment of theatrical grandeur and artistic finesse. Dressed in ceremonial robes adorned with intricate patterns and colors, Mitsugoro II exudes an aura of elegance and grace. The kamishimo, a traditional formal attire worn during special occasions, further enhances his regal presence. Against this backdrop, cherry blossoms delicately frame the scene, symbolizing both the transience of life and the beauty found within nature. Eishosai Choki's masterful use of ink and color on paper brings every detail to life – from the folds in Mitsugoro II's garments to the subtle expressions on his face. This woodblock print not only showcases technical skill but also serves as a testament to Japanese heritage artistry. As we gaze upon this full-length portrait, we are transported beyond time and space into an era where theater was at its zenith. It reminds us of how entertainment has always been an integral part of human culture – transcending boundaries and captivating audiences across generations. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable piece invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic value
