EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of traditional Japanese theater in the 18th century. Entitled "The Actors Arashi Ryuzo II and Ichikawa Komazo III" this pentaptych is a remarkable piece of art created by Torii Kiyonaga in 1788. In this particular panel, we are transported to a vibrant festival celebrating the shrine of the Soga brothers. The two actors, Arashi Ryuzo II and Ichikawa Komazo III, stand side by side, exuding charisma and talent. Their exquisite costumes showcase intricate designs and rich colors that reflect the fashion trends of that era. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this woodblock print. From the delicate paper lanterns illuminating their surroundings to the subtle patterns on their kimonos, Kiyonaga's artistic skill shines through. The grey background enhances the focus on these two remarkable men who have dedicated their lives to Kabuki theater. As we admire this artwork at the Art Institute Chicago or any other art center lucky enough to house it, we can't help but be transported back in time. We witness not only a celebration but also a glimpse into Japan's cultural heritage and its deep appreciation for drama and performance. Kiyonaga's work serves as a testament to his mastery as an artist while preserving an important part of Asian history for generations to come.
