EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant polychrome woodblock print, titled "The Third Segawa Kikunojo as Hisamatsu Standing on the Bank" captures the essence of 18th-century Japanese entertainment. Created by Katsukawa Shun'ei during the Edo period around 1795, this artwork showcases the mastery of ukiyo-e printing. In this scene, we see a full-length depiction of Segawa Kikunojo III in his role as Hisamatsu. The actor stands confidently on the riverbank, gazing into the distance with intensity. The estuary behind him adds depth and geographical context to the composition. Shun'ei's use of ink and color on paper brings life to every detail - from Hisamatsu's elaborate costume to his expressive facial features. This piece exemplifies both artistic skill and cultural heritage artistry. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print is a testament to Japan's rich theatrical tradition during that era. It offers a glimpse into a world where actors like Segawa Kikunojo captivated audiences with their performances. As we admire this image, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance. Through prints like these, we can explore different aspects of Japanese society - from entertainment to geography - all encapsulated within one frame.
