EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the representation of a kabuki actor, Ichikawa Komazo III, in the role of Minase in the renowned play "The Divine Spirit on the Yaguchi Basin" from 1794. Created by Sharaku Toshusai, an active artist during that period, this Japanese print measures 0.31x0.145 meters and is currently housed at the Guimet Museum, National Museum of Asian Arts in Paris. In this mesmerizing portrait, we see Ichikawa Komazo III adorned in an exquisite kimono with intricate patterns and vibrant colors that symbolize his character's persona. His expressive face captures both strength and vulnerability as he embodies Minase's spirit on stage. The attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke brings out the essence of Kabuki theater through its elaborate costumes and dramatic makeup. Sharaku Toshusai masterfully depicts not only Ichikawa Komazo III but also incorporates elements of calligraphy and traditional Japanese writing into this artwork. The composition highlights the actor's arm holding a sabre, emphasizing his skillful portrayal of Minase's warrior-like qualities. This photograph perfectly encapsulates the beauty and artistry found within Kabuki theater—a cherished form of entertainment deeply rooted in Japanese culture. It serves as a testament to Sharaku Toshusai's talent as well as a reminder of how historical artworks continue to captivate audiences worldwide centuries later.
