EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of traditional Japanese theater in the late 18th century. Titled "Ichikawa Komazo III as Kameya Chubei and Nakamura Tomisaburo as Umegawa, 1794" this image showcases the talent and artistry of two renowned actors. The monochrome photograph, taken by Cecil Reginald Grundy and featuring a portrait originally created by Toshusai Sharaku, transports us to a world of drama and tragedy. Standing against a grey background, Ichikawa Komazo III embodies the character of Kameya Chubei with his intense gaze and striking costume. His brown kimono adorned with intricate patterns reflects the elegance of traditional dress during that era. Beside him stands Nakamura Tomisaburo, portraying Umegawa with equal intensity. The couple's powerful presence on stage is palpable even in this still image. Their expressive faces hint at the emotional depth they bring to their roles. Published in The Connoisseur Volume LXXXVIII edited by C. Reginald Grundy in 1931, this print serves as a testament to both historical Japanese theater and artistic collaboration across time periods. It allows us to appreciate not only the skillful acting but also the meticulous attention to detail in costume design. As we admire this remarkable piece from Heritage Images' collection, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and cultural boundaries, continuing to captivate audiences for centuries after its creation.
