EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Artokoloro showcases the renowned Japanese actor Tatsuoka Hisagiku in his role as Kurenai during the Edo period (1615-1868). The polychrome woodblock print, meticulously hand-colored with ink and vibrant hues, measures 12 x 6 inches (305 x 152 cm) on high-quality paper. Tatsuoka Hisagiku, an active artist from Osaka between 1720 and 1750, was a prominent figure in kabuki theater. In this particular portrayal, he appears as a young woman gracefully carrying New Year decorations of pine, crane, and tortoise - symbols of longevity and good fortune. This scene is derived from the play "Miyakozome Kaoru" performed at Tokyo's Nakamuraza Theater. The intricate details captured in this print highlight the skillful craftsmanship of Kiyonobu II, the Japanese artist responsible for its creation. The composition beautifully captures Tatsuoka Hisagiku's expressive performance and brings to life the rich cultural heritage of Japan's theatrical traditions. Artokoloro has masterfully preserved this historical gem that offers viewers a glimpse into both artistic excellence and traditional storytelling techniques prevalent during the Edo period. As we admire this stunning piece today, it serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of actors like Tatsuoka Hisagiku who brought characters to life on stage centuries ago.
