    Description

    With the help of a story that has remained intact over the years and into the present day, this work depicts a heroine with a unique way of life in a fantasy. This work depicts Okiku, the heroine of the Kabuki play "Bancho Sarayashiki," based on the version written by Okamoto Kido, which was first performed in 1914. Unlike the gruesome ghost stories in which a woman's ghost appears nightly from inside a well, this play is more modern in that it depicts a love affair between a man and a woman who are like an elite businessman and an office worker. A woman tests a man by breaking an heirloom plate. The man, enraged by her suspicions, tries to swing his sword out of samurai pride. In the euphoria of having confirmed her love, the woman puts her hands together, looks straight at the man, and begs him to kill her. Kabuki is a stage play that excites the audience by depicting the eroticism of death as if it were a "sacrificial ritual. Size of work (mat window): 39.8 x 49 cm ・Frame size (outside dimensions): 46.3 x 55.5 cm ・ Technique: Japanese painting on silk

  • About this artist

    Concept

    Kisho Tsukuda paints princesses wearing billabira hairpins and fluffy skirts, just as she did as a child. Today, she paints heroines from Kabuki, historical tales, and fairy tales using traditional silk-colored Japanese painting and egg-yolk tempera techniques. The stories we know, which anyone can Google, have the "power to move people's hearts" that has been brushed up over time. Read the book, interact with it with a modern mind, look at the prince with a stern eye different from that of the princess, come up with original costumes, and portray the heroine she wants to meet. We want to share the unspoken "impatientness" of each story that everyone has in their genetic memory.
