EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary Ichikawa Danjuro I in his iconic role as Soga Goro, captured around 1710 by the talented artist Okumura Masanobu. The image belongs to the Edo period, a time when kabuki theater flourished in Japan. Ichikawa Danjuro I was renowned for his exceptional acting skills and charismatic stage presence. In this portrayal of Soga Goro, he embodies the essence of a tragic hero seeking vengeance for his father's death. The intensity in his eyes and the strength emanating from his posture convey both determination and vulnerability. Okumura Masanobu's masterful use of ink and color on paper brings depth to this polychrome woodblock print. Every brushstroke captures the drama unfolding on stage, transporting viewers into a world filled with passion and emotion. As we admire this heritage art piece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage that Kabuki theater represents in Japanese history. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of performance arts to captivate audiences across centuries. This print not only pays tribute to two great artists - Ichikawa Danjuro I and Okumura Masanobu - but also invites us to appreciate their contributions towards preserving traditional Japanese theater through ukiyo-e prints like these.
