Painting Description
"Iwai Kumesaburo II as Agemaki in Sukeroku yukari no Edo zakura" is a woodblock print by Utagawa Kunisada, also known as Toyokuni III, a prolific and influential ukiyo-e artist of the late Edo period. The print is part of a series that depicts kabuki actors in their most memorable roles, showcasing the vibrant culture of Japanese theater during the 19th century.
The subject of the print, Iwai Kumesaburo II, was a renowned kabuki actor known for his onnagata roles, in which male actors specialize in playing female characters. In this particular work, Kumesaburo II is portrayed as Agemaki, a courtesan and one of the central figures in the play "Sukeroku yukari no Edo zakura" (Sukeroku: Flower of Edo). The play is a classic in the kabuki repertoire and tells the story of the love-lorn and heroic Sukeroku as he attempts to win the heart of Agemaki amidst a backdrop of rivalry and intrigue in the pleasure quarters of Edo (now Tokyo).
Kunisada's print captures the essence of Agemaki's character through the actor's expressive pose and the intricate details of the costume, which reflect the fashion and aesthetics of the Edo period. The artwork is a testament to Kunisada's mastery of the ukiyo-e genre, characterized by its vivid use of color, attention to pattern and texture, and dynamic composition. As a historical document, the print provides insight into the art of kabuki and the cultural landscape of Japan during a time when the theater was a central form of entertainment and artistic expression.
This print is not only significant for its artistic value but also for its role in documenting the history of kabuki theater. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of Japanese art and culture, offering a window into the world of Edo-period drama and the celebrated actors who brought its stories to life.
