EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, showcases Ichikawa Danjuro V in his role as Abe no Sadato in the Kabuki play "Oshu Adachi ga Hara," performed at the Ichimura Theater in the fifth month of 1777. The Edo Period (1603-1868) masterpiece is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the eighteenth century. Danjuro V, a prominent figure in the Katsukawa School, is depicted in the print with his feet bare and legs apart, assuming a strong and determined stance. The actor's intense gaze and expressive body language convey the deep emotions of his character, while the intricate details of his traditional Kabuki costume add to the overall allure of the piece. In the play, Abe no Sadato is a samurai who seeks revenge against the Adachi clan for the murder of his father. With a katana blade held firmly in his hand, Danjuro V embodies the fierce determination and unwavering resolve of Sadato as he prepares to face his enemies. The print's vibrant colors and bold lines bring the dramatic scene to life, transporting viewers back in time to the world of Kabuki theater during the Edo Period. The artistry of Shunsho and the powerful performance of Danjuro V continue to captivate audiences and art enthusiasts alike, making this a cherished piece of Asian art and cultural heritage.
