Lord,

when you send the rain,

think about it, please,

a little?

Do

not get carried away

by the sound of falling water,

the marvelous light

on the falling water.

I

am beneath that water.

It falls with great force

and the light

Blinds

me to the light.

~ “Untitled” by James Baldwin

"Sawamura Tanosuke II as Yae", Utagawa Toyokuni, 1816, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Japanese and Korean Art

With his distinctive almond eyes and full lips as seen here, Sawamura Tanosuke II was a rising onnagata (female impersonator) star when this print was made. Based on a play staged in the third lunar month of 1816, this fan print shows one of the last portraits of this promising actor, who died prematurely during the following year. He is shown in the role of the woman Yae. A pattern of cherry blossoms (sakura in Japanese) adorning his kimono's collar alludes to Yae's husband, Sakuramaru. Size: 9 7/16 × 10 7/8 in. (23.9 × 27.6 cm) (image, sheet, uchiwa-e) Medium: Woodblock print (nishiki-e); ink and color on paper

Actor Bandō Mitsugorō II as Ishii Genzō, Utagawa Toyokuni, 1794, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Japanese and Korean Art

Related to the play "Hana ayame Bunroku Soga" 花菖蒲文禄曾我, performed at the Miyako Theater in the fifth lunar month of 1794. The crest on the figure’s left shoulder reveals that the actor is Bandō Mitsugorō II. His costume shows him in the role of Ishii Genzō in a play performed in 1794 at the Miyako Theater in Edo. The play is the story of two brothers attempting to avenge their father’s death. Here, Genzō’s disheveled hair suggests that he has been fighting. Now, clearly, the struggle has escalated, for he is unsheathing his sword. In the play’s next scene, he is killed by his enemy. Portraying Genzō as both intense and pensive, Toyokuni conveyed the character’s powerful determination and foreshadowed his tragic end. Size: 14 3/4 × 10 1/16 in. (37.4 × 25.6 cm) (image, sheet, vertical ōban) Medium: Woodblock print (nishiki-e); ink and color on paper with mica

Picture Books of Amusements of Actors on all Three Floors (Gazu yakusha san-kai kyō), Utagawa Toyokuni, 1801, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Japanese and Korean Art

By the mid-18th century, Kabuki had become a major cultural force. In Edo alone, there were four (later, three) theaters that offered lengthy programs nearly every day. While images of actors in their costumed roles dominated earlier print production, by the late 18th century a new genre of ukiyo-e emerged that showed them offstage, in more intimate settings. For this book, from a two-volume set, the artist Utagawa Toyokuni supplied compositions featuring famous actors. The title, "Sankaikyō" is a playful homonym of the name of a famous Buddhist sect, but also refers to the fact that typical dressing rooms in Kabuki theaters have three (san) floors (kai). This double page depicts such a dressing room. Size: 5/16 x 6 1/8 x 8 1/2 in. (0.8 x 15.5 x 21.6 cm) Medium: Woodblock printed book; ink and limited color on paper
