Segawa Kurando Tomisaburo Woodblocks Woodcuts

EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print showcases Segawa Tomisaburo in the role of Yadorigi, the devoted wife of Ogishi Kurando. The image, dated 1794, was produced between 1918 and 1923 in Japan. Segawa Tomisaburo, a renowned actor of his time, masterfully portrays Yadorigi with an expression of deep love and devotion. Wearing a traditional Japanese kimono adorned with intricate patterns, Yadorigi gazes off into the distance, lost in thought. Her long, flowing hair is styled in a classic Japanese manner, adding to her ethereal beauty. The woodcut technique used in this print allows for stunning detail and depth, capturing every nuance of Tomisaburo's performance. The woodblock print medium was a popular art form in Japan during the Edo period, and this piece is a testament to the skill and artistry of the woodblock printers of the time. Yadorigi's story, as the loyal and devoted wife of Ogishi Kurando, was a common theme in Japanese literature and theater, and this print offers a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions of Japan during the late Edo period.
