EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The Actor Ichikawa Raizo I, 1761" transports us back to the vibrant world of 18th-century Japan. Created by the talented artist Torii Kiyomitsu during the Edo period, this colour woodblock print showcases the remarkable artistry and theatricality of kabuki actors. In this full-length portrait, we see Ichikawa Raizo I in a mesmerizing costume that reflects both his character and the fashion trends of the time. His wide-legged trousers are an unusual sight, adding a touch of uniqueness to his ensemble. The intricate details and vivid colours bring out every aspect of his dress with precision. Kabuki, a traditional form of Japanese drama known for its elaborate costumes and exaggerated gestures, comes alive through Kiyomitsu's masterful printing technique. The actor's expressive face captures our attention as he embodies his role on stage. This image serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage preserved within Asian arts. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's gallery dedicated to Asian arts, this artwork invites viewers into a different era and offers insight into Japan's artistic school during that century. It is truly fascinating how such prints continue to captivate audiences today despite being created centuries ago. "The Actor Ichikawa Raizo I" not only celebrates one individual but also represents an entire tradition passed down through generations. Through Torii Kiyomitsu's skillful craftsmanship and attention to detail, we are granted access to an extraordinary world
