Traditional Woodblock print of Actor
" Kunisada (1786-1865), was in his own time was the most popular and successful print designer in Japan. This print shows an actor Seki Sanjuro and was published in 1831 and forms part of my own private collection of original woodblock prints. Kunisada was born in Edo and started out creating actor prints, the initial specialty of the Utagawa school, but eventually branched out into bijin-ga (beautiful women), and even also landscapes. During his lifetime, he produced a vast number of prints. He died in Edo, having made only one documented trip out of it in his whole life!"

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a traditional woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Kunisada (1786-1865), who was celebrated as the most popular and successful print designer of his time. The artwork features an actor named Seki Sanjuro and was published in 1831, making it a valuable addition to my personal collection of original woodblock prints. Kunisada initially focused on creating prints depicting actors, which were highly sought after during that era. However, he later expanded his repertoire to include bijin-ga (beautiful women) and even landscapes. Throughout his lifetime, Kunisada produced an astonishing number of prints, solidifying his status as a prolific artist. Interestingly, despite his fame and success, Kunisada rarely ventured beyond Edo (now Tokyo). In fact, he only made one documented trip outside the city throughout his entire life! This fact adds an intriguing layer to our understanding of this talented artist's dedication to his craft. As I gaze upon this stunning piece of artistry captured in this print from BernardAllum at Fine Art Storehouse, I am transported back in time to the vibrant world of kabuki theater. The intricate details and expressive brushstrokes bring Seki Sanjuro's character to life before my eyes. It is truly a testament to Kunisada's skillful craftsmanship and artistic vision that continues to captivate viewers centuries later.
