This exquisite original 19th-century Japanese woodblock print measures 10 1/4 x 14 1/2 inches. The piece features the renowned Kabuki actor Ichikawa Danjuro VII in his iconic role of Shibaraku, a popular subject among collectors. This print exhibits significant fading, particularly of the red pigment, leading to an overall toned appearance. Additionally, there is thinning in the paper with a small void located in the top right corner, reflecting its journey through time. Despite its condition, this piece captures the artistic prowess of Utagawa Toyokuni I, placing it as a valuable addition for enthusiasts of Japanese art.
