1909 Geometric Design Hero Kamisaka Sekka 1866 1942 Samurai Colour Woodblock Print Historica Graphica Collection
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic kabuki character, Kamakura Gongoro Kagemasa, in a scene from the renowned play Shibaraku. Published in 1909 as part of Momoyo-gusa (The World of Things) Vol II, this colour block woodcut beautifully captures the essence of Japanese theatre and historical artistry. The image portrays Kamakura Gongoro Kagemasa, a heroic samurai adorned in vibrant traditional attire. His commanding presence is accentuated by his poised stance and fierce expression. The intricate geometric design surrounding him adds depth and visual interest to the composition. Created by esteemed artist Kamisaka Sekka (1866-1942), this illustration exemplifies his mastery of colour woodblock printing techniques. With meticulous attention to detail, Sekka brings to life the rich history and cultural significance behind kabuki theatre. As we gaze upon this historic piece from Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur and drama that defined Japanese theatrical performances. This artwork serves as a testament to both the artistic skill of its creator and the enduring legacy of kabuki tradition.
