A woodblock print by Utagawa Toyokuni I, depicting Ichikawa Komazō II in the role of Akaneya Hanshichi from the play Hadesugata On'a Maiginu. The print captures the stylised poses and expressions characteristic of Kabuki 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 leading printmaker of the Ukiyo-e style during the Edo period, known for his portraits of Kabuki actors and beautiful women. His work helped to popularise the Kabuki theatre. The print shows two figures: Ichikawa Komazō II as Akaneya Hanshichi, standing behind a seated woman. The actor is dressed in a patterned robe, with a white cloth tied around his shoulders. The woman wears an elaborate hair ornament and a patterned kimono. The composition is flat, typical of Ukiyo-e prints, with a focus on line and pattern. The colours are muted, with shades of red, orange, and beige dominating the palette. The print captures the stylised poses and expressions characteristic of Kabuki theatre, offering a glimpse into the popular culture of Edo-period Japan.

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.
