EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Sakata Sajuro I as a Samurai's Manservant" created by Ippitsusai Buncho in 1768/70, transports us to the vibrant world of Edo-period Japan. The image showcases the artistry and skill of both the artist and his subject, Sakata Sajuro I, a renowned kabuki actor. In this dramatic scene, we see Sajuro I fully immersed in his role as a loyal manservant to a samurai. His facial expression exudes intensity and determination while his bare feet suggest he is braving the elements during a rainy night. Clutching a samurai sword with precision and strength, he embodies the essence of warfare and honor. Buncho's mastery of color woodblock printing brings this historical moment to life. The vivid hues capture every detail - from the flowing raindrops to the intricate patterns on Sajuro I's robe. This artwork not only serves as an exquisite example of ukiyo-e (pictures of the floating world) but also highlights Buncho's artistic prowess within this genre. Displayed at The Art Institute of Chicago, this piece offers viewers an opportunity to delve into Japanese culture and appreciate its rich heritage. It reminds us that art has no boundaries when it comes to time or location; it speaks universally through its expressive portrayal of human emotions. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print by Ippitsusai Buncho, we are transported back in
