A woodblock print by Yamamura Toyonari, depicting Matsumoto Koshiro VII as Sukeroku, a popular character from Kabuki theatre. The print captures the essence of Kabuki theatre, known for its elaborate costumes and stylised performances.
This woodblock print by Yamamura Toyonari (1773-1835) depicts Matsumoto Koshiro VII in the role of Sukeroku, a popular character from Kabuki theatre. Toyonari was a Japanese artist of the Ukiyo-e school, active in the late Edo period. He is known for his prints of actors and beautiful women (bijin-ga). His work captures the essence of Kabuki theatre, a classical Japanese dance-drama known for its elaborate costumes and stylised performances. The print features a close-up portrait of the actor, his face painted in the distinctive white makeup characteristic of Kabuki. Red accents around the eyes and mouth accentuate his expression. He wears a black outer robe with a red under-robe, the collar pulled back to reveal the nape of his neck, a common stylistic element in Ukiyo-e prints of women and actors. The composition is simple, with a plain background that focuses attention on the figure. The artist's signature appears to the right of the figure.

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.
