EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, depicts Ichikawa Danjuro V in the role of Ashikaga Takauji from the play "Kaeribana Eiyu Taiheiki," performed at the Nakamura Theater in the eleventh month of 1779. The print, which showcases the rich artistic traditions of Japan during the Edo period, highlights the intricate details of Danjuro V's elaborate costume and the regal bearing of the actor as he holds a falcon, a symbol of his prowess in falconry. The print, which is believed to date back to the late 18th century, is a stunning example of color woodblock printing, a technique that was popular during this period in Japan. The use of vibrant colors and intricate details in the print are a testament to the artistic skill and mastery of the artist. The costume worn by Danjuro V in the print is reminiscent of the clothing worn during the Fourteenth Century, with its rich hues and intricate patterns. The apparel, which includes a long, flowing robe and a distinctive headdress, is adorned with intricate designs and patterns, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the Edo period. The print also features a falcon perched on Danjuro V's arm, adding an element of the natural world to the image. The bird, with its sharp eyes and powerful talons, is a reminder of the connection between nature and the human world in Japanese culture. This print is not only a fascinating glimpse into the world of Kabuki theater during the Edo period but also a testament to the artistic heritage of Japan. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, costume design, or the history of theater.
