SUMMARY:The Many Faces of Danjuro IX
DESCRIPTION:Stuart Jackson Gallery and The Japan Foundation present\nThe Many Faces of Danjuro IX:\nAn exhibition of original Kabuki Prints\nFebruary 6 – April 30\, 2014 \nIchikawa Danjuro IX (1838-1903) was one of the most celebrated actors of his time and was key to preserving and modernizing Kabuki theatre for the 20th century. \nThe Japan Foundation and the Stuart Jackson Gallery are proud to present an exhibition of original antique woodblock prints depicting many of the faces\, or roles\, of this pivotal actor. \nIchikawa Danjuro IX was a direct descendant of Ichikawa Danjuro I (1660-1704). Kabuki theatre was still evolving when the young Danjuro I adopted his stage name in 1675 and originated the popular acting style called aragoto. Most actors who inherited this prestigious name were his direct descendants\, but it was not a given for the son to succeed the father; the title had to be earned and this line of actors is renowned for its great skills and mastery of the art. Ichikawa Danjuro IX inherited the name in 1874 at a time when Japan was modernizing and Kabuki was competing against a variety of new forms of entertainment. He was one of the biggest stars of the late 19th century\, highly skilled in the traditional theatre\, yet flexible enough to incorporate innovations to keep Kabuki relevant in a changing world. \n“Danjuro\, the ninth\, was the bridge that spanned the sudden gulf which yawned between the traditional past and the uncertain and changing modern world. He may be regarded as the saviour of Kabuki during a period when it might have suffered shipwreck\, had there not been a man of genius at the helm to guide the craft through the troubled waters.” \n– Zoe Kincaid\, Kabuki: The Popular Stage Of Japan\, 1925 \nGallery Hours\nMonday: 11:30 am – 7:00 pm EXTENDED HOURS\nTuesday: 11:30 am – 4:30 pm\nWednesday: 11:30 am – 4:30 pm\nThursday: 11:30 am – 7:00 pm EXTENDED HOURS\nFriday: 11:30 am – 4:30 pm\nSaturday openings: Noon – 5:00 pm \nSaturday opening dates: February 8 & 22\, March 8 & 22\, April 12\, 26\nClosed: Other Saturdays and Sundays\, February 17 (Family Day)\, April 18 – 21 (Easter)

SUMMARY:Danjuro Exhibition Talk V
DESCRIPTION:17th century Japan gave birth to many exciting new art forms\, including Kabuki Theatre and a woodblock print art known as ukiyo-e. Kabuki’s expressive acting styles and bold\, colorful costumes and makeup provided wonderful subject matter for ukiyo-e prints. Between the end of the 17th century and the end of the 19th century\, many thousands of ukiyo-e prints illustrating a variety of subjects\, including women\, nature and heroic warriors\, were produced\, but almost half of all prints were “yakusha-e”: portraits of kabuki actors or scenes from kabuki plays. \nThe affordable\, popular art helped to increase the fame of the actors and the star status of the actors fueled print sales. Some of the most celebrated actors came from the Danjuro family. In fact\, Ichikawa Danjuro I (1660-1704) is the subject of the earliest known actor print. Through the years artists introduced innovations in printing techniques\, formats\, and designs. Meanwhile\, the celebrity status of the actors continued to grow. \nThe subject of the current exhibition is Ichikawa Danjuro IX (1838-1903). His career coincided with the last great period of Ukiyo-e art\, and he was a favorite subject of Kunichika (1835-1900)\, the greatest yakusha-e artist of the period. This talk will trace the development of actor prints from the end of the 17th century through to the wonderfully crafted\, deluxe\, bold and expressive portraits of Ichikawa Danjuro IX created at the end of the 19th century.
