More about this artwork

This painting created by Toyohara Kunichika, titled "De 53 Paulownia Bomen Bij De Torenpoort," portrays a vivid illustration of a Kabuki actor. The actor is depicted in a strikingly dramatic pose and costume, positioned off-center on the left side of the artwork.The actor is dressed in an elaborate and ornate kimono, richly patterned with various designs that include floral and geometric motifs. The colors used in the kimono are vivid, mainly blues and golds, which are spectacularly set against the plain background, emphasizing the figure's prominence. Additionally, the actor's red hair and intensely detailed facial expression contribute significantly to the dramatic and intense effect typical of Kabuki theater.Kunichika, known for his prints themed around the Kabuki theater, excellently uses the ukiyo-e style to capture the theatrical and exaggerated expressions that are key features of Kabuki performances. The inclusion of text, likely references or comments related to the performance or the character, gives viewers additional context to the dramatic scene depicted.The empty space on the right side of the artwork, punctuated only by delicate floral patterns and more text, serves to emphasize the actor's depiction even more, drawing the viewer's attention to his powerful appearance and intricate costume details. Overall, the composition and style are consummate examples of Meiji era ukiyo-e prints and their celebration of the theatrical arts.

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.
