EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print showcases Bando Hikosaburo III, a renowned Japanese actor of the Edo period, in the role of Saemon Suketsune. Saemon Suketsune was a historical figure who played a pivotal role in the Soga Brothers' Revenge story, a popular tale of vengeance and honor in Japanese literature and theater. Saemon Suketsune, a high-ranking samurai, is infamous for his role in the tragic events of 1193. He orchestrated the assassination of the Soga brothers' father, Kudo Yoshinaka, after the latter's defeat in the Genpei War. The Soga brothers, Takasuke and Juro, sought revenge for their father's death, leading to a series of events that would become the foundation of one of Japan's most enduring folktales. Bando Hikosaburo III (1787-1844) was a prominent actor of the Kabuki theater during the Edo period, known for his exceptional skill and versatility. In this print, he masterfully portrays the complex and multifaceted character of Saemon Suketsune. The intricate woodcut details reveal the actor's intense focus and theatricality, as he delves into the depths of the character's deceitful and cunning nature. This woodblock print, created in 1807, is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period. It offers a glimpse into the world of Kabuki theater and the enduring appeal of the Soga Brothers' Revenge story. The print's intricate design and striking details serve as a reminder of the captivating stories and unforgettable characters that have shaped Japanese literature and theater for centuries.
