EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Scene from the Play 'Keisei Kaneni Sakura', 1756" by Torii Kiyohiro takes us back to the vibrant world of Edo period Japan. The polychrome woodblock print, created in the 18th century, showcases the exquisite artistry of the Azuma artistic school. In this scene, we are transported to a serene countryside adorned with cherry blossoms. A magnificent cherry tree stands tall and proud as its delicate pink blooms create a breathtaking backdrop. Amidst this natural beauty, an enchanting figure captivates our attention - Ichikawa Masuzo, a renowned female impersonator known for his mastery of onnagata roles. Masuzo is depicted playing a flute with utmost grace and skill. His flowing robes and elegant posture exude both femininity and strength. The musical instrument seems to come alive under his touch, harmonizing with nature's symphony. Torii Kiyohiro's ink and color on paper technique beautifully captures every detail of this mesmerizing moment in time. This woodblock print not only celebrates the art form but also pays homage to Japan's rich cultural heritage. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this artwork invites viewers to immerse themselves in the ukiyo-e tradition while appreciating the intricate connection between music, nature, and theatrical performance that defined Edo-period Japan.
