EDITORS COMMENTS
This color woodblock print, titled "Onoe Baiko and Seki Sanjuro" by Toyohara Kunichika, dates back to 1884 during the Meiji Era of Japan. The image showcases two renowned Kabuki actors, Onoe Baiko and Seki Sanjuro, in a dramatic moment during their performance. Baiko, an onnagata or male actor specializing in female roles, is depicted in a graceful and elegant pose with a delicate hairstyle adorned with flowers. His hairdo, a traditional Japanese hairstyle known as "Oyama," is meticulously arranged and accentuated by a decorative hairpin. Seki Sanjuro, another prominent Kabuki actor, is shown in a more assertive and masculine stance, gesturing with both hands. His hair, styled in a more conventional male hairstyle, is neatly combed back and held in place by a simple hairpin. The two actors, dressed in their elaborate Kabuki costumes, exude an air of confidence and charisma, drawing the audience into their world of drama and intrigue. This print, a prime example of the Ukiyo-e art form, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan's Meiji Period. It is a fascinating glimpse into the world of Kabuki theater, a traditional form of Japanese entertainment that continues to captivate audiences to this day. The print is now a cherished piece in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it can be admired by visitors from around the world.
