Toyohara Kunichika – Sakuramaru Baiko Onoe

This striking ukiyo-e woodblock print portrays a Kabuki actor in a commanding and intense pose. The figure, likely a female warrior or similarly strong character, is shown from the chest up, partially reclining with a stern, determined expression. She wears a vivid red kimono decorated with large white flowers, creating a bold contrast that highlights her importance and status within the narrative.

Her hand tightly grips a katana, adding a dramatic tension to the scene. The muted beige background keeps the focus on her expressive face and detailed costume. Japanese characters frame the print, likely identifying the actor and the play. The artwork exemplifies traditional Ukiyo-e style, celebrated for its powerful theatrical depictions.
