The actor Ichikawa Danjuro VI and a boy n.d.

This woodblock print by Utagawa Toyokuni I depicts the famous kabuki actor Ichikawa Danjuro VI. Known for his powerful performances, Danjuro is shown here in a dramatic pose, his arms crossed and swords strapped to his waist. The actor's stern expression and striking figure are contrasted by the child clutching his leg, creating a sense of both authority and vulnerability. This ukiyo-e print showcases Toyokuni's mastery of the genre and his ability to capture the dynamism and spectacle of the kabuki theater.
