Painting Description
Toyokuni: Oban Tate-e; A Posthumous Bust Portrait of the Actor Sawamura Sojuro III in the Role of Satsuma Gengobei in the Play Go Dairiki is a notable woodblock print created by the esteemed Japanese artist Utagawa Kunisada. This work is a prime example of the ukiyo-e genre, which flourished during the Edo period and is renowned for its depictions of kabuki actors, beautiful women, and scenes from Japanese folklore and history.
The print features a posthumous bust portrait of the celebrated kabuki actor Sawamura Sojuro III, who is depicted in the role of Satsuma Gengobei from the play "Go Dairiki." The portrayal is rich in detail, capturing the actor's expressive features and the elaborate costume associated with his character. The composition is rendered in the oban tate-e format, a common size for ukiyo-e prints, which allows for a vertical orientation and provides ample space for intricate details.
Above the portrait, there is an inscription that serves as a memorial tribute. This inscription includes lines from the play "Go Dairiki" and is signed by Noshi Tsuma, the actor's wife. The inclusion of this personal and poignant inscription adds a layer of depth to the artwork, connecting the viewer not only to the visual representation of the actor but also to the emotional and cultural context surrounding his legacy.
Kunisada, also known as Utagawa Toyokuni III, was a prolific and influential artist in the ukiyo-e tradition. His works are celebrated for their vibrant colors, dynamic compositions, and the ability to capture the essence of his subjects. This particular print is a testament to Kunisada's skill in portraiture and his ability to convey the spirit of the kabuki theater, an integral part of Japanese cultural heritage.
The print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document, preserving the memory of Sawamura Sojuro III and his contributions to the kabuki stage. It reflects the deep respect and admiration held for the actor by his contemporaries and offers modern viewers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Edo-period art and theater.
