EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant woodblock print, titled "Actors as Ushiwakamaru, Kisanta, Kiichi Hogen, and Minazuru-hime" captures the essence of 19th-century Japanese kabuki theater. Created by renowned artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi during the Edo period, this artwork showcases the mastery of color and expression that defined ukiyo-e prints. The scene depicts four actors in elaborate costumes and dramatic facial expressions. The central figure portrays Ushiwakamaru, a legendary warrior known for his bravery. With a fierce gaze and raised hand gesture, he exudes an intense anger that resonates with viewers. Surrounding him are Kisanta, Kiichi Hogen, and Minazuru-hime—each character representing different aspects of Japanese theatrical tradition. Their cross-dressing appearances highlight the onnagata practice where male actors portrayed female roles. Kuniyoshi's artistic skill is evident in every detail: from the intricate patterns adorning their garments to the delicate wings symbolizing ethereal beauty. This print not only captures a moment in time but also reflects Japan's rich cultural heritage. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's Asian Art Gallery, this piece invites visitors to immerse themselves in the world of kabuki theater—a form of entertainment deeply ingrained in Japanese history. It serves as a testament to Kuniyoshi's contribution to both artistry and storytelling through woodblock printing. With its vivid colors and dynamic composition
