EDITORS COMMENTS
This diptych of polychrome woodblock prints, created by Toshusai Sharaku in 1794-95, features the renowned actor Ichikawa Yaozo III as a Courtesans Attendant. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this 18th-century artwork to life, showcasing the artistic mastery of the Edo period. In this mesmerizing portrayal, Ichikawa Yaozo III embodies the role of a female impersonator with grace and elegance. Dressed in traditional attire, he captivates viewers with his cross-dressing performance as he assumes the persona of a courtesan's attendant. The delicate ink and color on paper technique used by Sharaku adds depth and richness to every brushstroke. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this heritage art piece that reflects Japan's theatrical history. It is an exquisite representation of ukiyo-e, a popular genre during the Edo period that depicted scenes from everyday life. Sharaku's meticulous attention to detail captures not only Ichikawa Yaozo III's physical appearance but also his inner essence as an actor. This print serves as a testament to both their talents and contributes to our understanding of Japanese entertainment culture during the eighteenth century. As we admire this remarkable woodblock print at The Met, we are transported back in time to witness the skillful performance of one of Japan's most celebrated actors. Through Sharaku's artistry, we gain insight into the world of theater and appreciate its enduring impact on Japanese
