More about this artwork

This painting by Toyohara Kunichika is a striking example of ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese woodblock prints. It depicts a kabuki actor in a dynamic posture, capturing the intense emotion and dramatic action typical of kabuki theater. The actor is portrayed with exaggerated facial expressions and a powerful stance, contributing to the dramatic impact of the image.The actor wears a traditional kabuki costume with bold patterns and vibrant colors. The dark blue of the kimono is contrasted sharply against the red accents and accessories, which help emphasize the movement and emotion evident in the image. He holds a large, circular green prop, perhaps a part of the theatrical scene being enacted.Kunichika was known for his portraits of kabuki actors, and this work exemplifies his ability to convey the drama and vitality of the stage through the print medium. The attention to detail in the costume and the forceful expression captures the essence of the character being portrayed, making it a compelling visual representation of kabuki theater.

Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900) was one of the most successful Japanese woodblock print artists during the Edo period. His passion for Kabuki shows drove him to mainly focus on producing prints of actors and actresses from Kabuki scenes, by using the Ukiyo-e style.
