Actor Sanogawa Ichimatsu as Karigane Bunshichi Possibly 1756

This ukiyo-e print, created by Torii Kiyohiro in 1756, depicts the actor Sanogawa Ichimatsu in the role of Karigane Bunshichi, a popular character in kabuki theater. The print is a hosoban, a format that depicts a single figure in a full-length portrait, and showcases Kiyohiro's meticulous attention to detail in capturing the actor's costume and expression. This captivating piece, now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, provides a glimpse into the world of Edo-period Japanese theater and art.
