| Description | This image from the play Love at Sea shows the pirate Kezori Kuemon standing on the prow of his ship and staring at the sea at a critical moment in the drama. The huge, glowing moon creates a halo effect as it illuminates the actor and his elaborate Chinese-style costume. This print does not depict a scene from nature but, instead, the illusion of a dark, clear night as it might appear on the Kabuki stage. [A work made of color woodblock prints; ōban triptych.] |
