EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Ichikawa Danjuro VII Admiring Ichikawa Danjuro I in a Portrait, ca. 1820" transports us back to the vibrant world of 19th-century Japanese theater. Created by Utagawa Kunisada, this polychrome woodblock print surimono showcases the rich heritage and artistry of ukiyo-e. In this scene, we witness an extraordinary moment as Ichikawa Danjuro VII, a renowned actor of his time, gazes upon a portrait of his illustrious ancestor, Ichikawa Danjuro I. Dressed in traditional kimono attire that reflects the elegance and opulence of the Edo period, both figures exude an air of theatricality and grace. Kunisada's masterful use of ink and silver color on paper brings depth and life to every detail - from the intricate patterns on their garments to the expressions on their faces. The artist skillfully captures not only their physical likeness but also conveys a sense of reverence and admiration between generations. This artwork serves as a testament to the enduring legacy left by actors like Ichikawa Danjuro I who paved the way for future performers like Ichikawa Danjuro VII. It reminds us that art has always been deeply rooted in history and tradition while constantly evolving with each new generation. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this remarkable piece invites viewers into a world where drama unfolds through vivid colors
