EDITORS COMMENTS
The Actor Ichikawa Danjuro I (1660-1704) captured in a mesmerizing woodblock print by Hokusai, late 18th-early 19th century. This vibrant artwork showcases the legendary actor in all his theatrical glory during Japan's Edo period. Ichikawa Danjuro I, an iconic figure of Japanese theater, is depicted here with intense focus and dramatic flair. Dressed in an elaborate costume that reflects the rich heritage of Japanese artistry, he stands tall and proud, captivating audiences with his powerful presence. Hokusai's masterful use of ink and color on paper brings this historical moment to life. Every detail is meticulously crafted - from the intricate patterns on Danjuro's attire to the subtle shading that adds depth to his expression. The polychrome woodblock technique used in this print enhances its visual impact, making it a true work of art. In this portrayal, we witness Danjuro mid-performance as he skillfully throws himself into character. His bare feet firmly planted on the ground symbolize his connection to tradition and evoke a sense of groundedness amidst the whirlwind of emotions he embodies on stage. This remarkable piece can be found at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire awe and admiration for both Hokusai's artistic prowess and Ichikawa Danjuro I's enduring legacy as one of Japan's most celebrated actors.
