A woodblock print by Utagawa Toyokuni I, depicting the actor Segawa Roko as a woodseller leading an ox. The work exemplifies the Ukiyo-e style, with its flat perspective and delicate lines.
This woodblock print by Utagawa Toyokuni I (1769-1825) depicts the actor Segawa Roko in the role of Ohara, a woodseller, leading an ox. Toyokuni I was a prominent artist of the Ukiyo-e style, known for his portraits of Kabuki actors and depictions of scenes from popular plays. His work captures the essence of Edo period theatre and society. The print showcases a figure in elaborate costume, identifiable as a Kabuki actor, leading a black ox. The actor carries a bundle of wood on their head, balanced with a white cloth. The ox is adorned with a yellow rope. Cherry blossoms are scattered in the background, adding a seasonal element to the composition. The print is characterised by its flat perspective, delicate lines, and the use of colour blocks to define forms and patterns. The actor's robes feature geometric and floral motifs, typical of the period's textile designs.

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.
