EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the mesmerizing performance of Ichimura Uzaemon IX as the shirabyoshi dancer Makomo no Mae in the joruri "Iru ni Makase Yumiharizuki". Created by Kitao Shigemasa in 1767, this exquisite piece of art transports us to the vibrant world of Edo period Japan. Ichimura Uzaemon IX, a renowned kabuki actor, effortlessly embodies the grace and elegance of a female impersonator. Dressed in a stunning kimono adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, he captivates his audience with every movement. The attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, bringing life to his flowing garments and delicate accessories. As he gracefully holds a handheld fan against his face, it adds an air of mystery and allure to his character. The green color palette chosen for this artwork further enhances the sense of tranquility and harmony that surrounds him. This portrayal takes place at the iconic Ichimura Theater during November 1767. It showcases not only the talent of Ichimura Uzaemon IX but also pays homage to traditional Japanese performing arts such as kabuki and joruri. Kitao Shigemasa's skillful block printing technique brings depth and texture to this benizuri e masterpiece. This artwork serves as a testament to Japan's rich artistic heritage and continues to inspire generations with its timeless beauty.
