1615 1868 1790s Color Woodblock Print Early 1800s Edo Period Razor


EDITORS COMMENTS
This color woodblock print, titled "Actor Holding Razor" offers a glimpse into the vibrant world of Japanese theater during the Edo Period. Created in the late 18th or early 19th century, this artwork measures approximately 31.2 x 14 cm and showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of its time. The print depicts an actor holding a razor with great intensity and theatrical flair. The actor's expressive face is filled with emotion, his eyes shining with determination as he grips the razor tightly in his hand. The intricate details of his costume reflect the elegance and opulence associated with traditional Japanese theater. During Japan's Edo Period (1615-1868), kabuki theater flourished as a popular form of entertainment for both commoners and aristocrats alike. This art form combined elements of drama, music, dance, and elaborate costumes to create visually stunning performances that captivated audiences. Through this woodblock print, we are transported back in time to witness a moment from one such performance. The artist skillfully captures not only the physical appearance but also the essence of this character's role on stage – perhaps portraying a samurai preparing for battle or a tragic hero contemplating their fate. As we admire this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, let us appreciate its historical significance as well as its artistic beauty. It serves as a testament to Japan's rich cultural heritage and reminds us of the enduring power of storytelling through visual arts across different eras and civilizations.
