More about this artwork

This dramatic and vibrant painting by Toyohara Kunichika showcases a kabuki actor in a striking pose. The actor is dressed in traditional kabuki costume, characterized by the bold patterns and intricate designs, notably the large mon (family crest) on the garment. His facial expression — with a slightly raised eyebrow and intense gaze — and the stylized makeup known as kumadori, commonly used to signify the role’s nature and the character's emotions, suggest that he is playing a role of importance, possibly a heroic or warrior figure.In the background, a dynamic scene unfolds, depicting what appears to be a battle or a raid with warriors on horseback and foot soldiers, rendered in silhouette against a deep blue night sky. This context emphasizes the theater’s historic penchant for dramatizing famous legends and epic tales that resonate with themes of honor, bravery, and conflict.A striking element is the use of color contrast — the pale, almost luminous complexion of the actor against the dark background, and his vibrant colored costume elements, which highlight the focal point of the painting — the actor himself.

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.
