EDITORS COMMENTS
This polychrome woodblock print, created by Utagawa Toyokuni I in the late 18th century, showcases the renowned Kabuki actor Sawamura Sojuro III in his iconic role as Kinokuniya. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this artwork transports us back to the Edo period of Japan. Sawamura Sojuro III's commanding presence is beautifully captured in this full-length depiction. Holding a fan delicately in his hand, he exudes an air of elegance and grace that befits a true master of the stage. The mica background adds a touch of shimmering allure to the scene, further enhancing the visual impact. Kabuki, a traditional form of Japanese theater known for its elaborate costumes and dramatic performances, comes alive through Toyokuni's skillful artistry. This print not only celebrates the talent and charisma of Sawamura Sojuro III but also pays homage to the rich heritage of Japanese entertainment. As we gaze upon this masterpiece from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, we are transported into a world where actors like Sawamura Sojuro III were revered as cultural icons. Through ink and color on paper, Utagawa Toyokuni I brings forth an enduring image that captures both the essence of Kabuki theater and the spirit of 18th-century Japan.
