EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century print by Ishikawa Toyonobu showcases the renowned actor Sanokawa Ichimatsu as a young samurai, skillfully riding on horseback. The artist's intricate block printing technique brings this historical moment to life, capturing the essence of Edo period drama and entertainment. Actor Sanokawa Ichimatsu is depicted in traditional Japanese attire, his vibrant clothing adding a splash of color to the scene. With great attention to detail, Toyonobu masterfully illustrates every aspect of the costume, highlighting its cultural significance and reflecting the fashion trends of that era. The horse itself becomes an integral part of this composition, symbolizing strength and nobility. Its graceful presence enhances the overall depiction while showcasing the bond between man and animal during this time in history. As one explores this artwork further, it becomes evident that Toyonobu's illustration skills are truly remarkable. The ink and color on paper create a harmonious blend that captures both movement and stillness with equal finesse.
