EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of traditional Japanese theater, showcasing the renowned actor Seki Sajuro III in the role of Giheji Oba and Bando Shuka as Danshichi Okaji. The xylography on paper by Utagawa Kuniyoshi beautifully portrays these iconic characters from 1830. The image transports us to a world where artistry meets storytelling, as both actors are adorned in exquisite kimonos, their hair meticulously styled. Every detail is carefully crafted, from the intricate tiles beneath their feet to the crocheted nose that adds a touch of whimsy to Giheji Oba's character. One cannot help but be drawn into this scene, captivated by the emotions conveyed through each stroke of paint and every scratch on the surface. The mastery with which Kuniyoshi brings these characters to life is truly remarkable. This particular print comes from a private collection once owned by Maurice Denis, adding an air of exclusivity and historical significance. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of Japanese art and its ability to transcend time and culture. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork captured by Sylvain Collet's lens, we are reminded of the profound impact that theater has had on society throughout history. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these performances continue to inspire awe and admiration for their artistic brilliance.
