EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned actor Ichikawa Danjuro (1791-1859) in the role of Konoshita Tokichi, holding a goose in his hand. Standing confidently in front of a grand gate, he is adorned with an umbrella and an arrow-pierced goose. This exquisite artwork forms part of a diptych that once belonged to a pyramid-shaped triptych; unfortunately, the right-hand leaf and the leaf diagonally above are missing, leaving us to imagine their beauty. A poem adorns one pillar of this print: "Praised as the thousand gourds of Naritaya, another successful season awaits this first-class actor". It is worth noting that Naritaya was among the names used by Ichikawa Danjuro when composing poems. The presence of water birds such as geese adds depth and symbolism to this piece. Created by Kunisada (I), Utagawa, in Japan during 1820, this color woodcut on paper measures approximately 214 mm in height and 188 mm in width. Its intricate details capture not only Ichikawa Danjuro's theatrical prowess but also his ability to captivate audiences through visual storytelling. The Liszt Collection proudly presents this remarkable print for art enthusiasts who appreciate historical Japanese theater and its iconic actors like Ichikawa Danjuro.
