The Actor Matsumoto Koshiro III as Kyo no Jiro Disguised as an Uiro (Panacea) Peddler - A Captivating Glimpse into 18th Century Kabuki Theatre
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This vibrant and captivating photo print, created by Ippitsusai Buncho in the late 18th century, transports us back to the world of Edo period kabuki theatre. The image features the renowned actor Matsumoto Koshiro III, skillfully portraying the character of Kyo no Jiro disguised as an Uiro peddler from the play Kagami-ga-ike Omokage Soga. With a hand-held fan held gracefully in one hand and a box of panaceas balanced on his shoulder, Matsumoto's full-length figure exudes both elegance and intrigue. His facial expression captures the essence of his character's disguise, leaving viewers curious about what lies beneath. Buncho's mastery of color woodblock printing is evident in this piece, with rich hues bringing life to every detail - from the intricate patterns on Matsumoto's kimono to the vivid colors adorning his accessories. The composition draws our attention to both the actor himself and his surroundings, showcasing not only their artistic beauty but also providing valuable insights into Japanese culture during this time. As we admire this heritage art piece at the Art Institute of Chicago or any other art gallery fortunate enough to house it, we are reminded of how kabuki theatre served as a form of entertainment for people across Japan centuries ago. This artwork serves as a testament to its enduring legacy and reminds us that even today, expressions through performance continue to captivate audiences around the world.
