EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are granted a glimpse into the private world of Ichikawa Danjuro VII, one of Japan's most beloved actors and poets. Seated on a plush cushion in his dressing room, Danjuro exudes an air of tranquility as he prepares to engage in his artistic pursuits. With an open fan delicately held in his left hand and a brush poised in his right, it is evident that Danjuro is about to embark on a poetic journey. Perhaps he intends to inscribe heartfelt verses onto the surface of the fan before him, leaving behind traces of his creative spirit for all who encounter it. The opulence surrounding him cannot be ignored; his dressing table and mirror are adorned with intricate decorations that reflect both his status as an esteemed actor and poet. This richly ornamented backdrop serves as a testament to Danjuro's immense popularity among admirers who often sought out his signature on fans like these. Danjuro's legacy transcends mere performance; he was revered not only for his theatrical prowess but also for his poetic sensibilities. His ability to captivate audiences through both mediums solidified him as a true icon of Japanese culture during the early 19th century. This masterfully crafted woodcut print by Kunisada (I), Utagawa transports us back in time to witness the essence of Ichikawa Danjuro VII - an artist whose talent knew no bounds.
