EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Hamamuraya: Segawa Kikunojo III as the courtesan Koman" from the series "Portraits of Actors on Stage," dates back to the 18th century in Japan. Created by the renowned artist Utagawa Toyokuni I, this masterpiece showcases Segawa Kikunojo III in the role of the famous courtesan Koman. The actor is depicted in full drag, wearing a stunning kimono adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, including black and green. The obi sash, a crucial element of traditional Japanese clothing, is also beautifully rendered, adding to the authenticity of the costume. Koman was a popular character in Kabuki drama, a traditional Japanese performing art, where male actors would often portray female roles, known as onnagata. The actor's skillful portrayal of the feminine character was a testament to their talent and artistry. This print is a significant example of the Edo period's rich cultural heritage, showcasing the fashion and entertainment of the time. The meticulous attention to detail in the print, from the actor's makeup and hairstyle to the intricate patterns on the kimono, is a testament to the artist's mastery of his craft. The print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world.
