EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Ichimura Kamezo in the role of Ise no Saburo during the Edo period in Japan. Created by Torii Kiyomasu I around 1748, this polychrome woodblock print is a true testament to the artistic mastery of the time. In this image, we see Kamezo fully immersed in his character, exuding both strength and vulnerability. Dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, his kimono beautifully adorned with intricate patterns and colors, he embodies the essence of a nobleman from that era. The lighting plays a significant role in setting the mood for this scene. A lantern softly illuminates Kamezo's face, casting gentle shadows that add depth to his expression. The attention to detail is remarkable as every brushstroke captures not only his physical appearance but also his inner emotions. As an actor within Japan's theatrical world during this period, Kamezo was highly regarded for his talent and versatility. This woodblock print serves as a timeless tribute to his contribution to Japanese entertainment history. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this piece allows us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic brilliance. It offers viewers a glimpse into 18th-century Japan while showcasing Torii Kiyomasu I's skillful craftsmanship through ink and color on paper. Overall, this print encapsulates the beauty of ukiyo-e artistry while honoring one of Japan's most celebrated actors from centuries past.
