EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, created by the talented artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi between 1848 and 1854, showcases a dramatic scene from the play "Nagoya SanzaburAc fuwa banzaemon katsuragi". The artwork depicts three actors embodying the characters of Nagoya SanzaburAc, Katsuragi, and Fuwa Banzaemon. In this vibrant composition, we see the courtesan Katsuragi standing outside a luxurious sedan chair. Positioned on either side of her are two rival lovers and samurai - her husband Nagoya Sanza and Fuwa Banzaemon. The tension in their expressions is palpable as they vie for Katsuragi's attention. Utagawa Kuniyoshi masterfully captures the essence of each character through intricate details and vivid colors. The flowing robes of the actors create a sense of movement within the static medium of woodcut printing. This technique adds depth to their personalities and enhances our understanding of their roles in this enthralling tale. The print offers a glimpse into Japanese theater traditions during that era while also showcasing Utagawa Kuniyoshi's artistic prowess. It serves as a testament to his ability to bring stories to life through visual storytelling. Quint Lox has curated this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, preserving its historical significance and allowing us to appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and cultural importance.
