EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant polychrome woodblock print, created by Yoshitsuya in the mid-19th century, captures the essence of Kabuki theater. The image showcases a group of talented actors portraying iconic characters from Japanese history and folklore. In the foreground, we see Oashibara Ueno no kami Masahira and Tokiwa Mikuriya Betto Tsuneaki, their colorful costumes adorned with intricate patterns that reflect their noble status. Behind them stand Tairano Shinno Masakado and Musashi Goro Takeshiba, exuding strength and power through their imposing presence. The stage comes alive as these skilled performers bring drama to life with their expressive gestures and captivating expressions. Each actor embodies their character flawlessly, drawing the audience into a world filled with passion and intensity. Yoshitsuya's mastery is evident in every brushstroke of this ink and color on paper masterpiece. The use of bold colors adds depth to the scene while maintaining an overall harmony that is characteristic of ukiyo-e prints. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported back to 19th-century Japan—a time when Kabuki theater was at its peak popularity. This print serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of this traditional art form and pays homage to the skillful actors who brought it to life on stage. Through this piece, Yoshitsuya invites us to appreciate not only his artistic talent but also the rich cultural heritage preserved within Kabuki theater
