EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the essence of theatrical artistry in 18th century Japan. In this image, we see the renowned actor Yamashita Kinsaku holding a puppet of the Empress during a performance of "Diary Kept on a Journey by Sea to Izu". The play was staged at the Nakamura Theater in January 1725, showcasing the talent and creativity prevalent during the Edo period. Kinsaku's portrayal as a female impersonator, known as an onnagata, is truly remarkable. Dressed in an exquisite kimono adorned with vibrant orange hues, he embodies grace and elegance. His hand delicately holds the beautifully crafted puppet representing royalty. The black cartouche framing this scene adds depth to its visual impact while emphasizing its historical significance. This hand-colored woodblock print showcases Torii Kiyonobu II's mastery as an artist and his ability to capture intricate details with precision. As we admire this artwork at the Art Institute of Chicago, we are transported back in time to witness not only a mesmerizing performance but also gain insight into Japanese culture and fashion from centuries ago. It serves as a testament to how art can transcend time and connect us with our heritage. This piece reminds us of the rich artistic legacy left behind by talented individuals like Kiyonobu II and Yamashita Kinsaku who continue to inspire generations through their craft.
