Palindromic Poems (Kaibunka) - Kyo, ca. 1768 - A Captivating Glimpse into Edo Period Entertainment
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This exquisite print captures a mesmerizing scene from the vibrant world of Edo period entertainment. Created by Suzuki Harunobu in the late 18th century, this artwork showcases the artistry and allure of kabuki theater. In this triptych composition, we are transported to a blossoming cherry tree-filled landscape where an enchanting drama unfolds. The focal point is Nakamura Tomijuro, a renowned male actor who skillfully portrays female roles known as onnagata or oyama. Dressed in elaborate traditional attire with delicate cherry blossom motifs, he captivates audiences with his graceful movements and expressive gestures. Harunobu's masterful use of ink and color on paper brings to life every detail – from the intricate patterns adorning Tomijuro's costume to the ethereal beauty of blooming flowers surrounding him. The right-hand sheet depicts Tomijuro playing a koto, a traditional musical instrument that adds melodic charm to his performance. As incense smoke wafts through the air, transporting us further into this realm of theatricality and poetry, it becomes evident why kabuki was such an integral part of Japanese culture during this era. Now preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage artwork serves as a testament to Suzuki Harunobu's artistic genius and offers us
