The Actor the Fourth Danjuro with His Chin in His Hand. . . 1770
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this polychrome woodblock print by Shunsho, we are transported back to the vibrant world of 18th-century Japan. The print features the renowned actor Ichikawa Danjuro IV, known for his exceptional talent and commanding stage presence. With his chin resting thoughtfully on his hand, Danjuro exudes a sense of introspection and intensity. Leaning on the handle of a large black axe, he appears both formidable and enigmatic. The juxtaposition of his bare feet against the backdrop of war and weaponry adds an intriguing layer to this composition. Shunsho's masterful use of ink and color brings depth and richness to every detail. From the intricate patterns adorning Danjuro's robe to the subtle shading that highlights his expressive face, each element is meticulously rendered. This woodblock print not only captures a moment in time but also serves as a testament to Japan's artistic heritage. It exemplifies ukiyo-e, a genre that flourished during the Edo period and depicted scenes from everyday life, theater performances, and historical events. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are reminded of the enduring power of theater as an art form. Through Shunsho's skilled craftsmanship and Danjuro's captivating portrayal, we are transported into another world - one filled with drama, emotion, and timeless beauty.
