EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, dating between 1830 and 1844, showcases three renowned Japanese actors in their respective roles as Mashiba Hisatsugu, Hakusho Gosaku, and Hayawaza Masazaemon. The print on the left features Arashi Rikan II as Mashiba Hisatsugu, a character from the classic Japanese play "Yoshida Shoin Sakusenki." His stoic expression and regal posture convey the gravity and wisdom of the historical figure he portrays. In the center, we find Nakamura Utaemon V as Hakusho Gosaku, who is actually Ishikawa Goeimon in disguise in the play "Kanadehon Chūshingura." Utaemon's masterful portrayal of the dual role adds an intriguing layer to the story, as he skillfully brings both characters to life. On the right, Ichikawa Hakuen gracefully embodies the role of Hayawaza Masazaemon from the play "Sonezaki Shinju." His elegant attire and poised demeanor reflect the refined nature of the character, making for a visually stunning and emotionally resonant performance. This exquisite woodblock print, created during the Edo period, is a testament to the artistry and skill of the woodblock printers and actors of the time. It offers a glimpse into the rich cultural history of Japanese theater and the captivating performances that continue to inspire and enthrall audiences today.
