1700 1868 Actor Carrying Female Hand Holding Matsumoto Onnagata Parasol Printed Role Shows Torii Walking Impersonator Kiyonobu
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print by Torii Kiyonobu, we are transported to the world of traditional Japanese theater. The print features Matsumoto Hyozo, a renowned actor known for his onnagata roles, which involved portraying female characters. The scene depicts Matsumoto Hyozo in full costume and makeup, gracefully walking towards the right side of the composition. In one hand, he holds a delicate parasol, adding an elegant touch to his ensemble. Interestingly, he is also holding a child's hand as they stroll together. Kiyonobu's masterful use of color brings vibrancy and life to the print. The rich hues beautifully highlight every intricate detail of Matsumoto Hyozo's attire and facial expression. The artist skillfully captures both the strength and femininity that onnagata actors were celebrated for during this period. This particular print was created sometime between 1868 and 1900 but portrays events from around 1700 when Matsumoto Hyozo was active in his career. It measures approximately 27.8 x 13.4 cm. Quint Lox has chosen to immortalize this stunning piece from the Liszt Collection through photography so that viewers can appreciate its beauty outside of its original form as a woodcut print. This photograph allows us to delve into Japan's theatrical history while marveling at Torii Kiyonobu's artistic prowess and capturing a moment frozen in time with Matsumoto Hyozo embody
