EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Ogino Isaburo, a renowned kabuki actor from the 18th century. The image is part of a triptych series titled "A Triptych of Young Kabuki Actors: Kyoto, Center" created by Okumura Masanobu in c. 1723 during the Edo period in Japan. In this hand-coloured woodblock print, Isaburo's full-length figure takes center stage, exuding an air of elegance and theatricality. Dressed in traditional female attire, he embodies the artistry of onnagata - male actors who specialize in portraying female roles on stage. With meticulous attention to detail and vibrant colours, Masanobu brings out the essence of Isaburo's character and his mastery as a performer. The print offers a glimpse into the world of kabuki theatre during its golden age. Kabuki was not only a form of entertainment but also an integral part of Japanese culture and heritage. It combined drama, music, dance, elaborate costumes, and stylized gestures to captivate audiences with tales from history or mythology. As we admire this exquisite artwork at the Art Institute Chicago gallery or any other art centre fortunate enough to house it within their collection, we are transported back in time to witness the skillful transformation that took place on stage centuries ago. This piece serves as a testament to both Okumura Masanobu's artistic prowess and Ogino Isaburo's talent as one of Japan
