EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Segawa Kikunojo V, a male actor from the 19th century, embodying the legendary female samurai warrior Tomoe Gozen. Created by Toyokuni Utagawa, a renowned Japanese artist of that era, this colour woodcut captures the essence of traditional Japanese theatre and its rich history. Tomoe Gozen was an iconic figure in Japanese folklore, known for her exceptional skill in battle and unwavering loyalty to her lord. In this portrayal, Kikunojo flawlessly embodies the strength and power associated with this revered character. Mounted on horseback with a lance in hand, he exudes confidence and determination as he personifies both femininity and martial prowess. The intricate details of the woodcut bring life to every aspect of the composition - from the flowing robes adorned with calligraphy symbols to the intense expression on Kikunojo's face. The vibrant colors used add depth and vibrancy to this stunning piece of art. Through this image, we are transported back in time to feudal Japan where honor, valor, and loyalty were highly esteemed virtues. It serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy left behind by figures like Tomoe Gozen who challenged societal norms and shattered gender stereotypes. Displayed at Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands; this print continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty while celebrating both historical tradition and artistic excellence.
