A woodblock print by Yamamura Toyonari, this artwork depicts the actor Sonosuke in the role of Koharu. The work exemplifies the Ukiyo-e style, known for its portraits of actors and scenes from daily life.
This woodblock print by Yamamura Toyonari depicts the actor Sonosuke portraying the character of Koharu. The work belongs to the Ukiyo-e movement, a genre of Japanese art that flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries. Ukiyo-e prints often featured courtesans, actors, and scenes from daily life. Toyonari was known for his prints of Kabuki actors, capturing their likenesses and the essence of their stage roles. In this print, Sonosuke, as Koharu, is shown in a three-quarter view. The figure is dressed in a purple kimono with a light blue collar and a patterned obi. The actor holds a red pipe, and their gaze is directed downwards. The print is characterised by its clean lines and flat planes of colour, typical of Ukiyo-e. The background is a plain, light colour, which serves to focus attention on the figure. The print includes Japanese text and a seal, adding to its authenticity and historical context.

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.
