EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the essence of traditional Japanese theater during the Edo period. Onoe Kikugoro, a renowned actor, takes on the role of Yaoya Oshichi with Nakamura Kiyosaburo as her lover, the kosho (page) Kichisaburo. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this 18th-century scene to life. The actors are dressed in exquisite kimonos adorned with elaborate patterns and designs that reflect the fashion trends of the time. Yaoya Oshichi's full-length kimono flows gracefully around her as she stands beside her lover, their emotions palpable through their expressions. Instruments play an important role in this theatrical performance, and we see a musician playing a samisen, a traditional three-stringed instrument used to accompany Kabuki performances. The melodic notes fill the air as these talented performers transport us back to ancient Japan. The setting is beautifully depicted with delicate ink and color on paper technique characteristic of ukiyo-e woodblock prints. A straw hat rests atop Yaoya Oshichi's head, adding an extra layer of authenticity to this historical portrayal. This remarkable piece by Okumura Masanobu showcases his mastery in capturing not only human emotion but also cultural nuances within his artistry. It serves as a testament to Japan's rich artistic heritage and offers viewers a glimpse into its captivating past at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
