A woodblock print by Utagawa Toyokuni I, portraying the actor Ichikawa Aragōrō as Yoshida no Matsuwaka-Maru. This ukiyo-e artwork captures a moment from Japanese kabuki theatre with stylised lines and muted colours.
This woodblock print by Utagawa Toyokuni I (1769-1825) depicts the actor Ichikawa Aragōrō in the role of Yoshida no Matsuwaka-Maru. Toyokuni I was a prominent Japanese ukiyo-e artist from the Edo period, known for his portraits of kabuki actors and beautiful women. His work helped to popularise the ukiyo-e style, which flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries. The print showcases the actor in costume, standing against a stylised background of water and foliage. The figure's elaborate robe features flowing lines and patterns, with a muted palette of browns, yellows, and coral. The composition is flat, typical of ukiyo-e prints, with an emphasis on line and decorative pattern. The actor's pose and expression convey a sense of drama and character, capturing a moment from the kabuki performance. The print offers a glimpse into the world of Japanese theatre and the artistry of ukiyo-e.

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.
