EDITORS COMMENTS
Iriya: Nakamura Bungoro as Asagao, 1863" is a stunning woodblock print from the "Flowers of Edo with Pictures of Noted Views" series, created by the renowned artists Utagawa Kunisada, Hiroshige II, and Sadahide Utagawa. This work of art depicts the actor Nakamura Bungoro II in the role of Asagao, a character from the classic Japanese literature "Genji Monogatari" (The Tale of Genji). Asagao, which means "morning glory," is a blind musician who plays the flute and sings at the Gepparo, Gountei, and Kochoro inns in Kyoto. In this print, Bungoro is dressed in the elegant kimono and accessories of the Edo period, complete with intricate patterns and vibrant colors. The inset image shows the famous Hashimoto Gyokuran, a courtesan, playing the samisen, adding to the overall atmosphere of the scene. The artists' masterful use of color and detail is evident in the intricate patterns on Bungoro's kimono, the delicate calligraphy, and the beautiful flowers and landscapes in the background. The montage-like composition, with its multiple scenes and figures, showcases the artists' skill in blending various elements into a harmonious whole. This woodblock print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period, with its focus on literature, music, and the arts. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese history, art, or fashion, and a beautiful addition to any collection. This print is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it can be appreciated by visitors from around the world. The intricate details and historical significance of this work make it a valuable and fascinating piece of art from the 19th century.
