EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to a mesmerizing Samurai rain night scene, featuring the legendary actor Ichikawa Danjuro VII in the role of Soga no Goro Tokimune. With rain pouring down upon him, he stands resolute, clutching a sword tightly in his hand. This powerful image is derived from the play "Soga Nakamura" which was performed at the Nakamura theater in Edo during 1825. The right sheet of this triptych captures the intensity and drama of this moment perfectly. The skillful use of color woodcut brings depth and vibrancy to every detail, immersing us further into this evocative scene. As we gaze upon it, we can almost feel the weight of each raindrop and hear the sound of steel clashing against steel. Accompanying this striking visual is a poignant poem that adds an extra layer of emotion and contemplation. It serves as a reminder that art has the power to evoke profound feelings within us. Created by Kunisada (I), also known as Utagawa Kunisada, one of Japan's most renowned ukiyo-e artists, this print showcases his exceptional talent for capturing both action and emotion with precision. As we admire this exquisite piece from Liszt Collection, let us appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance while being transported into a world where honor, bravery, and theatrical mastery converge under moonlit skies drenched in rainfall.
