EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Segawa Kikunojo II as the Heron Maiden, a character from the famous series Ichimura Theater. Created in 1770 during Japan's Edo period, this colour woodblock print is a true masterpiece of Japanese art. Segawa Kikunojo II, a renowned actor of his time, flawlessly embodies the elegance and grace of the mythical Heron Maiden. The delicate lines and vibrant colors used in this artwork bring to life every intricate detail of his costume and expression. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Ippitsusai Bunchō, an influential figure in Japanese art history. Bunchō's skillful technique and attention to detail are evident throughout the composition, making it a true testament to his talent. Housed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this heritage artwork allows us to glimpse into Japan's rich cultural heritage during the Edo period. It serves as a reminder of the importance placed on theater and performance arts in Japanese society at that time. With its exquisite beauty and historical significance, this print by Heritage Art/Heritage Images captures not only Segawa Kikunojo II's portrayal of the Heron Maiden but also provides us with an opportunity to appreciate Japan's artistic legacy.
