EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant polychrome woodblock print, titled "Second Ichikawa Danjuro after 1735,5th month, 1736" captures the essence of traditional Japanese kabuki theater during the Edo period. Created by Torii Kiyomasu I in the eighteenth century, this piece showcases his mastery of ukiyo-e printing techniques. The central focus of the print is Second Ichikawa Danjuro, a renowned actor and one of the most celebrated performers in kabuki history. Known for his dynamic stage presence and dramatic portrayals, Danjuro captivates audiences with his expressive gestures and striking costumes. Kiyomasu skillfully depicts Danjuro's commanding presence through bold ink lines and vivid colors that bring life to every detail of his elaborate attire. The artist's attention to intricate patterns and textures highlights the craftsmanship involved in creating these theatrical costumes. Surrounded by a backdrop reminiscent of an Edo-period theater stage, this print transports viewers into a world filled with drama and entertainment. It serves as a testament to Japan's rich cultural heritage and its enduring love for performing arts. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this remarkable artwork not only pays homage to iconic actors like Second Ichikawa Danjuro but also provides valuable insights into the artistic traditions that have shaped Japanese culture throughout centuries.
