Kikugoro Nakamura Onoe Woodblocks Woodcuts
EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Onoe Kikugoro and Nakamura Kiyosaburo as Street Musicians," showcases two of the most renowned actors of Japan's Edo period: Onoe Kikugoro and Nakamura Kiyosaburo. The print, created in the late Edo period, depicts the actors in a more casual setting, dressed in traditional geta sandals and clothing, as they entertain the masses on the streets. Onoe Kikugoro (1775-1841) was a prominent kabuki actor from the Onoe family lineage, known for his versatility and ability to portray a wide range of roles. Nakamura Kiyosaburo I (1755-1816), also known as Nakamura Utaemon III, was a celebrated actor from the Nakamura family lineage, recognized for his exceptional skill in the art of kabuki dance. The intricately detailed print, produced using the traditional woodblock printing technique, captures the essence of the actors' charisma and theatrical prowess. The artists have expertly rendered their facial expressions, gestures, and costumes, inviting the viewer to imagine the lively performances they must have given on the kabuki stage. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the enduring appeal of its traditional performing arts. It offers a unique glimpse into the lives of these legendary actors and the world of kabuki theater during the Edo period. The print's age, with its subtle wear and patina, adds to its historical significance and value as a collectible work of art.
