Ichikawa Danjuro V and His Family, 1782
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating snapshot of the vibrant world of Japanese theater during the Edo period. Created by Torii Kiyonaga, this polychrome woodblock print transports us to a time when acting was not just a profession but an art form deeply ingrained in the country's cultural heritage. In this exquisite artwork, we witness Ichikawa Danjuro V, one of Japan's most celebrated actors, surrounded by his family. The full-length depiction showcases their colorful attire and intricate details that bring them to life on paper. With hand-held fans in their grasp and expressions filled with grace and poise, each member exudes elegance. The print captures the essence of fatherhood as Danjuro V proudly stands at the center while his son looks up to him with admiration. The presence of women adds another layer of beauty to the composition, highlighting their significant role in supporting these talented men. Kiyonaga's masterful use of ink and color on paper creates depth and richness within every brushstroke. Through this piece, he immortalizes not only the individuals portrayed but also an entire era defined by entertainment and artistic expression. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, "Ichikawa Danjuro V and His Family" serves as a window into Japanese history for all who gaze upon it. It reminds us that art has always been an integral part of society—a powerful medium capable of preserving culture for generations to come
