Oniichi (or Keichi) Hogan in the Sanryaku Chapter, Shichi Iroha Jui, 19th century
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Kunisada, depicting the famous Kabuki actor Oniichi Hogan in the Sanryaku Chapter of the play "Shichi Iroha Jui." This masterpiece dates back to the 1850s, during the Edo period, and is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan. Oniichi Hogan, portrayed here in a distrustful and suspicious demeanor, dons a striking checked kimono with a geometric pattern, typical of the Kinraisha style. The intricate design of the garment is further accentuated by the contrasting colors and the delicate brushwork of the artist. The actor's hair is styled in the traditional Gototei manner, with a topknot and a long ponytail, adding to his regal appearance. The setting of the print is a serene garden, with the backdrop of a beautiful landscape, evoking a sense of tranquility and calmness. The actor's expression, however, belies this peaceful atmosphere, as he gazes intently at an unseen character, his brows furrowed and his eyes filled with suspicion. This print is a part of the "Seven Calligraphic Models" series, and is a prime example of Utagawa Kunisada's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of human emotion and drama through his art. The print is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese art, fashion, and theatrical history. The print's intricate details, from the patterned kimono to the actor's expressive face, make it a visual feast for the eyes, transporting the viewer to a bygone era of Japanese history and culture. The print's enduring appeal lies in its ability to capture the essence of the human condition, making it a timeless work of art that continues to captivate and inspire audiences even today.
