EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning triptych print by Toyohara Kunichika, titled "The Actors Ichikawa Danjuro and Nakamura Fukusuke in the Roles of Kato Kiyomasa and Hinagoromo," showcases two renowned Kabuki actors of the 19th century, Ichikawa Danjuro and Nakamura Fukusuke, in their captivating portrayals of the historical figures Kato Kiyomasa and Hinagoromo. The print, created during the Meiji Era (1868-1912), is a masterpiece of Ukiyo-e art, a genre known for its depictions of the floating world - the pleasures and fashions of the day. Kato Kiyomasa, a famous samurai and military leader, is depicted in his regal attire, holding a samurai sword. He is shown aboard a boat, likely on his way to battle. His serious expression and stern gaze convey the gravity of his role as a military commander. Hinagoromo, a female impersonator or Onnagata, is portrayed in the role of a woman, dressed in a colorful kimono and holding a koto, a traditional Japanese stringed instrument. The contrast between the masculine and feminine roles is emphasized by the use of bright colors and intricate patterns in Hinagoromo's costume. The print's intricate details, from the textures of the actors' clothing to the delicate patterns on their fans, transport us back to the 19th century and offer a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Meiji Era. This print is a testament to the enduring legacy of Kabuki theater and the artistry of Toyohara Kunichika.
