Painting Description
"Ichikawa Omezo 1796" is a Japanese woodblock print created by Kabukido Enkyo, an artist known for his works depicting kabuki actors. The print is part of the ukiyo-e genre, a style of Japanese art that flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries, which often featured subjects from the entertainment districts such as kabuki theater, sumo wrestling, and scenes from history and folk tales.
The print portrays the kabuki actor Ichikawa Omezo I (1751–1799), who was active during the late 18th century. Ichikawa Omezo I was known for his roles in the aragoto (rough style) and was a prominent figure in Edo (modern-day Tokyo) kabuki theater. The year 1796, indicated in the title, suggests that the artwork captures the actor in a specific role or performance from that time.
Kabukido Enkyo, the artist, was a lesser-known ukiyo-e artist whose works primarily focused on kabuki subjects. His style was characterized by the portrayal of actors in vivid and dynamic poses, capturing the drama and emotion of the kabuki stage. The "Ichikawa Omezo 1796" print would have been part of the tradition of yakusha-e, which are portraits of kabuki actors.
This print is significant as it represents the cultural and artistic milieu of the Edo period, reflecting both the popularity of kabuki theater and the art of ukiyo-e. It serves as a historical document of the period's performing arts and the actors who were celebrated by the public. The artwork would be of interest to scholars studying Japanese art history, kabuki theater, and the ukiyo-e tradition, as well as to general audiences who appreciate Japanese culture and art.
As a visual record of a specific actor and performance, "Ichikawa Omezo 1796" by Kabukido Enkyo contributes to the understanding of the visual culture of the Edo period and the role of printmaking in disseminating the likenesses of popular kabuki actors to a wider audience.
