A striking ukiyo-e portrait measuring 37cm x 25cm, capturing the celebrated kabuki actor Ichikawa Kuzō in an onnagata performance as Teruhi-no-Mae.
This 1867 woodblock print exemplifies the yakusha-e tradition, a genre devoted to immortalizing the theatrical luminaries of Japan's Meiji period.
Toyohara Kunichika's masterful rendering reveals the actor's elaborate costume and refined makeup, characteristic of female roles in classical kabuki.
The red cartouche bearing the actor's name anchors the composition, while meticulous detail throughout demonstrates why Kunichika's prolific output remains essential documentation of 19th-century Japanese performance culture.
