EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, showcases Ichikawa Danjuro V in the final scene of Part One from the play "Fuki Kaete Tsuki mo Yoshiwara" (Rethatched Roof: The Moon also Shines Over the Yoshiwara Pleasure District), performed at the Morita Theater on the first day of the eleventh month in 1771. In this image, Danjuro V is depicted as the Buddhist deity Fudo Myo-o, or Acala, a fierce protector of the Dharma. With his bare feet and clad in traditional hosoban costume, Danjuro V embodies the deity's powerful and fearsome presence. Fudo Myo-o is often depicted holding a sword in one hand and a rope in the other, symbolizing the destruction of ignorance and the binding of delusion. In this print, Danjuro V masterfully conveys the deity's intense focus and determination, his eyes fixed on the viewer with unwavering intensity. The intricate details of his apparel, from the beige robes to the intricate patterns, are expertly rendered in the color woodblock printing technique. This print is a testament to the rich artistic traditions of Japan during the Edo period and the enduring legacy of the theatrical world. It also highlights the fusion of religious and theatrical elements, as Danjuro V transforms from a renowned actor to a divine being, blurring the lines between reality and mythology.
