EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, showcases Ichikawa Danjuro V in the role of Soga no Goro Tokimune from the Kabuki play "Sakai-cho Soga," performed at the Nakamura Theater in the First Month of 1771 in Japan. The print is a stunning example of the artistic school of Katsukawa, which flourished during the Edo period and the eighteenth century. Ichikawa Danjuro V, dressed in the traditional costume of the Soga clan, is depicted on horseback, holding a bow and arrow with a determined expression on his face. His horse, also intricately detailed, appears poised and ready to charge forward. The print's vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail bring the dramatic scene to life. The Soga brothers, Soga no Goro Tokimune and Soga no Gorōmaru, are legendary figures in Japanese history and literature. Their story, which involves a tragic vendetta against the lord of Akasaka, has been the subject of numerous Kabuki plays and other forms of Japanese art. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the enduring appeal of Kabuki theater. The intricate details of the clothing, the bold use of color, and the dynamic pose of the actor all combine to create a visually stunning and historically significant work of art.
