EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print from the 19th century showcases the artistry of Yajima Gogaku, a talented artist active during that time. Created between 1818 and 1830, this woodcut masterpiece measures 21 x 18.8 cm and depicts a scene from Manzai comedy. In this artwork, we see two comedic actors strolling along with their distinctive props. One actor carries a hand-held drum while the other playfully hides his face behind an elegant fan. The colors used in this print are rich and lively, adding depth to the characters' expressions and costumes. Manzai is a traditional form of Japanese comedy characterized by quick-witted banter between two performers. This print beautifully captures the essence of Manzai as it portrays these actors engaged in humorous interaction while on their stroll. Yajima Gogaku's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke of this screen painting turned into a woodcut print. The composition exudes energy and charm, making it an excellent representation of comedic theater during that era. As we admire this remarkable piece, we can't help but appreciate Quint Lox for preserving such historical treasures through his Liszt Collection. This caption serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of traditional arts like Manzai comedy and honors artists like Yajima Gogaku who brought joy to audiences centuries ago.
