Roles Taira Osen Woodblocks Woodcuts
EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, dating between 1845 and 1854, showcases three distinguished Japanese actors gracefully portraying the pivotal roles of Taira no Munemori, Mikazuki Osen, and Ebizako no Ju in a theatrical production. The intricate details of the print are brought to life through the masterful use of woodcuts. At the center, Taira no Munemori, the brave and determined leader of the Taira clan, is depicted in oversized garments, symbolizing his significant status. The actor skillfully conveys Munemori's determination and courage through his regal posture and intense gaze. To his left, Mikazuki Osen, the loyal and devoted wife of Munemori, is portrayed with a gentle and compassionate expression. Her elegant attire and graceful pose emphasize her refined beauty and inner strength. To the right, Ebizako no Ju, a powerful and cunning warrior, is shown attempting to pull Munemori's oversized garments, symbolizing his influence and manipulation over the Taira leader. The actor's menacing expression and forceful pose effectively convey Ebizako no Ju's deceitful nature. This print offers a glimpse into the rich and intricate world of Japanese theater during the Edo period, where actors brought historical figures and legendary stories to life through their performances.
