Print 1800 - 1865

This woodblock print, created by Utagawa Kunisada between 1800 and 1865, depicts a single figure dressed in traditional Japanese attire. The individual, likely a kabuki actor, is depicted standing with a fan and wearing a large straw hat. The use of bold colors and fine details in the clothing and facial expressions showcases the signature style of Kunisada, a prominent artist of the ukiyo-e genre. This print, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, provides a glimpse into the vibrant artistic landscape of 19th-century Japan.
