EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, dating back to the year 1820, showcases two of the most renowned actors of the Japanese Kabuki theater scene: Iwai Hanshiro V as Fuji Musume and Bando Mitsugoro III as Zato. The image captures a moment from the classic play "Zatōichi Monogatari" (The Tale of Zatoichi), where Fuji Musume, disguised as a woman, engages in a conversation with the blind masseur Zato, portrayed by Bando Mitsugoro III. Iwai Hanshiro V, dressed in elegant kimono and makeup as Fuji Musume, is depicted with a serious expression, her hands folded in front of her chest, while she listens intently to Zato. The man, played by Bando Mitsugoro III, is shown sitting on the ground with a stick in his hand, his face partially obscured by his hat, adding to the mystery and intrigue of his character. The intricate details of the print are a testament to the skillful artistry of the woodblock printmakers of the time. The use of bold lines, vibrant colors, and intricate patterns create a visually stunning representation of the actors and their roles. The print serves as a window into the rich history of Japanese theater and the captivating performances that have left a lasting impact on audiences for centuries. The woodblock print medium was a popular form of visual storytelling in Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868), and this particular image is a prime example of the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating these works. The print is a valuable historical and cultural treasure, providing a glimpse into the lives and careers of these legendary actors and the world of Kabuki theater.
