EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodblock print, created by the renowned Japanese artist Okumura Masanobu in 1727, showcases the famous actor Kirinami Onoe in the role of Osasa from the play Hachijin Taiheiki, performed at the Nakamura Theater. The eighth month of that year marked the premiere of this theatrical masterpiece. Osasa, a female character in the play, was often portrayed by male actors, known as onnagata, in the traditional Japanese dramatic arts. In this print, Kirinami Onoe is depicted wearing a stunning hosoban kimono, a narrow-width kimono with intricate patterns, adorned with black color and hand-painted details. The actor's expressive face, accentuated by the dramatic use of white makeup and black eyeliner, conveys a sense of intensity and emotion. The print also features various props and accessories, including a fan, a handheld fan with a decorative handle, and a torii gate, symbolizing a Shinto shrine. The background is filled with calligraphy and patterns, adding to the overall artistic design of the piece. This stunning work of art, a testament to the artistic school of Okumura Masanobu and the Torii School, showcases the beauty and intricacy of 18th-century Japanese fashion and theatrical traditions. The print is a valuable piece of heritage art, preserving the legacy of Japanese artistic and cultural history.
