EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The Actor Ichikawa Komazo as a Woman with Dishevelled Hair" takes us back to Japan in the late 18th century. Created by the renowned artist Hokusai during the Edo period, this woodblock printing showcases the mesmerizing world of Kabuki theater.

The intricate details of his costume and delicate facial expressions bring forth the artistry and drama that defined Kabuki performances. Kabuki was not only a form of entertainment but also an integral part of Japanese culture during this time.

Hokusai's masterful use of color and composition adds depth to this portrait, capturing both the essence of traditional Japanese theater and the individuality of Ichikawa Komazo's performance. This artwork serves as a testament to Japan's rich artistic heritage while inviting viewers to delve into its fascinating history.
