EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment from the final act of the play "Myotogiku Izu no Kisewata". The actors Arashi Sangoro II and Segawa Kikunojo II beautifully portray Minamoto no Yoritomo Disguised as the Hat Maker (Ebosi Ori) Daitaro, and the Snow Woman (Yuki Onna), respectively. In this dance sequence titled "Oyama Beni Yuki no Sugao" (Courtesans Rouge on a Snow White Face), we witness an enchanting blend of traditional Japanese literature and theatrical artistry. The actors are adorned in exquisite costumes, showcasing intricate details that transport us to another era. Arashi Sangoro II flawlessly embodies Minamoto no Yoritomo's character, skillfully disguised as a hat maker. His expressive eyes convey both determination and intrigue, capturing our attention with every movement. Meanwhile, Segawa Kikunojo II captivates us as she portrays the ethereal Snow Woman with grace and elegance. The composition is further enhanced by the presence of a baby held by one of the characters, adding depth to their roles within this narrative. Each actor's kimono showcases vibrant colors and patterns that reflect their respective characters' personalities. Buncho Ippitsusai's masterful woodblock print immortalizes this extraordinary performance at Ichimura Theater in 1770. Now housed at The Art Institute of Chicago as part of its Clarence Buckingham Collection
