EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of traditional Japanese theater in the 19th century. The actors Ichikawa Danjuro VII as Sukeroku and Onoe Kikugoro III as the white sake peddler Shinbei are depicted in their vibrant costumes, showcasing the intricate artistry of Edo-period fashion. The diptych composition allows us to appreciate both characters individually, highlighting their unique roles within the play "Yukari no Edo-zakura". Ichikawa Danjuro VII portrays Sukeroku with great intensity, his black kimono contrasting against a backdrop of blossoms. Onoe Kikugoro III embodies Shinbei, a female impersonator known for his skillful portrayal of women on stage. His grey attire adds an air of mystery to his character. Utagawa Kunisada's masterful block printing technique brings life to this scene from kabuki theater. The delicate cartouche framing enhances our focus on these remarkable actors and their expressive performances. As we admire this artwork at the Art Institute Chicago, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous era in Asian theatrical history. This piece serves as a testament to Japan's rich cultural heritage and its enduring artistic traditions.
