EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned artist Shunsho, showcases a scene from the Kabuki play "Date Nishiki Tsui no Yumitori," performed at the Morita Theater in Japan during the eleventh month of 1778. The print features three prominent actors of the Edo period: Onoe Tamizo I, portrayed as Nishikigi or Otae on the right, Ichikawa Danjuro V in the center as Miura Heidayu Kunitae, and Osagawa Tsuneyo II as Oyuki on the left. Onoe Tamizo I, dressed in a beige hosoban robe with a colorful obi, is known for his skill in portraying female roles, making his gender bending appearance all the more intriguing. Danjuro V, the center figure, dons a traditional samurai outfit, complete with a sword and armor, embodying the strength and power of his character. Osagawa Tsuneyo II, on the left, is dressed in an elegant kimono, adding a touch of grace and femininity to the scene. This stunning work of art, produced during the eighteenth century, is a testament to the artistic school of Katsukawa, specifically Katsukawa Shunsho. The intricate details of the actors' apparel, the vibrant colors, and the expressive facial features all contribute to the captivating nature of this print. The print's rich heritage and cultural significance make it a must-see for any art enthusiast, particularly those with an interest in Asian arts or the history of Kabuki theater.
