EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned actors Matsumoto Koshiro III and Bando Hikosaburo II in their mesmerizing roles as Oroku and Fujitaro, respectively. The image captures a moment from the play "Shomei Muken no Kane" which was performed at the Nakamura Theater in September 1767 during the vibrant Edo period. Torii Kiyomitsu, a master of block printing, skillfully brings these characters to life with intricate details and vivid colors. The actors' apparel reflects the fashion trends of 18th-century Japan, showcasing elaborate costumes that add depth to their performances. The contrasting expressions on their faces hint at an intense disagreement between Oroku and Fujitaro within the dramatic narrative. Their dynamic poses convey a sense of tension and emotion that captivates viewers. This artwork is not only a testament to Torii Kiyomitsu's artistic prowess but also serves as a valuable cultural artifact representing Asian performing arts from this era. It offers us a glimpse into the rich heritage of Japanese theater and its influence on contemporary acting styles. Displayed in an art gallery or institute such as the Art Institute Chicago, this print would undoubtedly draw attention for its historical significance and aesthetic beauty. It stands as a testament to both the talent of these legendary actors and Torii Kiyomitsu's mastery of color woodblock printing techniques.
