EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a pivotal moment in Japanese history. Titled "Nakamura Nakazo II Matsuomaru Carriage-Stopping Scene" this artwork by Utagawa Kunimasa transports us back to 1796, immersing us in the world of traditional Japanese theater. The focal point of the print is Nakamura Nakazo II, who portrays the character Matsuomaru. Dressed in elaborate costume and makeup, he exudes both strength and vulnerability as he stands beside a carriage that has come to a halt. His intense gaze suggests an inner turmoil, hinting at the dramatic events unfolding within the scene. Utagawa Kunimasa's masterful use of color woodblock printing brings this composition to life. The vibrant hues create a sense of movement and energy, while delicate touches of mica and lacquer add depth and texture to the image. Measuring 38.8 x 25.8 cm (15 1/4 x 10 3/16 in. ), this print is a testament to both artistic skill and cultural significance. It serves as a window into Japan's rich theatrical heritage, where storytelling through performance was elevated to an art form. As we admire this exquisite piece from Liszt Collection, let us appreciate its beauty while also recognizing its historical value. This photograph invites us to explore not only its visual allure but also delve deeper into the fascinating world it represents - one filled with tradition, emotion, and timeless tales waiting
