TOSHUSAI SHARAKU. Ichikawa Ebizo IV as Takemura Sadanojo in the Play Koinyobo Somewake Tazuna

Ichikawa Ebizo IV as Takemura Sadanojo in the Play Koinyobo Somewake Tazuna. Artist: Toshusai Sharaku (Japanese, active 1794-95). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: 14 7/16 x 9 1/3 in. (36.7 x 23.7 cm). Date: 1794. In this portrait, one of Sharaku's most famous works, Ebizo Is acting the part of a samurai warrior of tremendous integrity at a moment of insufferable moral conflict. Indeed, in the succeeding moment he will commit seppuku, or suicide by disembowelment, to preserve his honor. Ebizo's realization of his inescapable fate is apparent in his hands, which are clenched with enormous tension, while his eyes seem to peer out of a face devastated by the pain of his fatal dilemma. Sharaku has arranged the drapery folds to amplify the anguish expressed by the hands and orchestrate the transition between the two focal points of the composition--the hands and eyes. In the late eighteenth century, this actor was the fourth holder of the name "Ichikawa Danjuro," the most prestigious position in the world of Kabuki. Since he preferred his personal name, "Ebizo" was inscribed by brush on the upper right corner of this portrait, the only such inscription among extant impressions of this print.

Descripción:
Traducción automática: Ichikawa Ebizo IV como Takemura Sadanojo en la obra Koinyobo Somewake Tazuna. Artista: Toshusai Sharaku (japonés, activo entre 1794 y 1795). Cultura: Japón. Dimensiones: 36,7 x 23,7 cm (14 7/16 x 9 1/3 pulgadas). Fecha: 1794. En este retrato, una de las obras más famosas de Sharaku, Ebizo está interpretando el papel de un guerrero samurái de tremenda integridad en un momento de insufrible conflicto moral. De hecho, en el momento siguiente cometerá seppuku, o suicidio por destripamiento, para preservar su honor. La comprensión de Ebizo de su destino ineludible es evidente en sus manos, que están apretadas con enorme tensión, mientras sus ojos parecen mirar desde un rostro devastado por el dolor de su dilema fatal. Sharaku ha dispuesto los pliegues de los drapeados para amplificar la angustia expresada por las manos y orquestar la transición entre los dos puntos focales de la composición: las manos y los ojos. A finales del siglo XVIII, este actor era el cuarto poseedor del nombre de "Ichikawa Danjuro", la posición más prestigiosa en el mundo del kabuki. Como prefería su nombre personal, "Ebizo" fue inscrito con pincel en la esquina superior derecha de este retrato, la única inscripción de este tipo entre las impresiones existentes de esta estampa.
