EDITORS COMMENTS
Embankment by Kuichigai Moat in Asakusa: The Actor Kataoka Nizaemon VIII as Tamigaya Iemon, 1863" is a stunning triptych woodblock print from the "Flowers of Edo with Views of Famous Places" series, created by the renowned artists Utagawa Kunisada, Utagawa Hiroshige II, and Kawanabe Kyosai. This masterpiece showcases the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868), a time marked by artistic innovation and the popularity of Kabuki theater. The central image features the esteemed actor Kataoka Nizaemon VIII, portrayed as the character Tamigaya Iemon. He is dressed in elaborate and intricately designed Kabuki clothing, complete with a striking wig and makeup. The elderly woman in the foreground, dressed in a traditional kimono, adds an air of authenticity to the scene. The left inset depicts an elderly woman, possibly a hag or a ghost, peering out from the shadows, adding an element of mystery and suspense to the print. The right inset shows a group of people, including a geisha and a man in a formal outfit, enjoying a leisurely stroll along the embankment. The print is adorned with vibrant colors and intricate details, showcasing the skillful use of woodblock printing and calligraphy. The embankment by Kuichigai Moat in Asakusa is depicted in the background, adding a sense of place and context to the scene. This triptych print is a testament to the artistic brilliance of the three masters and the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period. The print also features the signatures of all three artists, including Kunisada, Hiroshige II, and Kyosai, adding to its historical significance and value. The print is a must-have for any collector of Asian art, particularly those interested in Kabuki theater and the Edo period.
