This print showcases Kabuki actor Segwa Kikunojo III in a mesmerizing female role, known as onnagata. Created by the talented artist Sharaku, Toshusai during the late 18th century, this woodblock on paper piece measures 32x14.9 cm and is currently housed at the Maidstone Museum and Art Gallery in Kent, UK. In this particular portrayal, Segwa Kikunojo III possibly embodies the character of Hanazono Gozen. The actor is depicted looking right with an air of elegance and holding up a model Sedan chariot by its shaft. His kneeling position highlights his flexibility, with one leg (his right) gracefully bent. Published by Tsutaya Juzaburo and bearing the Kiwame seal, this triptych print captures the essence of traditional Japanese theater during the Edo period under Tokugawa rule. The intricate kimono costume worn by Segwa Kikunojo III adds to the authenticity and allure of his performance. The photograph not only celebrates actors like Segwa Kikunojo III but also pays homage to Japanese culture and artistry. It transports viewers back in time to witness a moment from a kabuki play where every detail - from hair style to attire - has been meticulously crafted. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable image from their collection without any commercial use restrictions. It serves as a reminder of how theater can transcend time and borders while showcasing the immense talent that
