A woodblock print by Utagawa Toyokuni I, portraying Ichikawa Komazō II as Akaneya Hanshichi from the play Hadesugata On'a Maiginu. This work exemplifies the ukiyo-e style, capturing the essence of Edo-period theatre.
This woodblock print by Utagawa Toyokuni I (1769-1825) depicts the actor Ichikawa Komazō II (1764–1838) in the role of Akaneya Hanshichi from the play Hadesugata On'a Maiginu. Toyokuni I was a prominent artist of the Utagawa school, known for his contributions to ukiyo-e, particularly his yakusha-e (actor prints). His work helped to define the visual culture of the Edo period. The print presents a close-up portrait of the actor in costume. Ichikawa Komazō II is shown in profile, his face rendered with careful detail. His expression is serious, and he holds a sword, indicating his role in the play. The colour palette is restrained, with blacks, greys, and muted yellows dominating the composition. The background is a simple grey, which serves to isolate the figure and focus attention on the actor's face and costume. The lines are precise and the composition is flat, typical of ukiyo-e prints.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
