EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Actors Nakamura Tomijirō Role Ono no Komachi" transports us back to the Edo period in Japan, specifically around 1756. This polychrome woodblock print, created by Torii Kiyohiro, showcases two renowned kabuki actors - Nakamura Tomijirō and Sanogawa Ichimatsu - who are identified by their distinct crests. In this scene from a play based on the legend of Kamachi, we see Nakamura Tomijirō portraying the role of Ono no Komachi, a beautiful poetess from the ninth century. The haiku inscribed on the figures addresses the theme of a sudden shower and compares its power to poetry itself. The composition is visually striking as it captures both actors under an umbrella, seemingly praying for rain. The vibrant colors used in this beni-e (ink and color) woodblock print bring life to every detail. The delicate lines and meticulous craftsmanship showcase Kiyohiro's mastery as an artist. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers insight into Japanese theatrical traditions during the Edo period. It exemplifies how art was used to depict historical legends and celebrate literary figures like Ono no Komachi. Artokoloro has beautifully preserved this piece from their Liszt Collection, allowing us to appreciate its cultural significance today.
