A dynamic Kunisada actor portrait showing a Kabuki performer gripping a sword and striking a tense mie pose. Bold blue robes and a large vermilion crest create powerful theatrical energy. Though aged, the print retains strong visual impact and exemplifies Kunisada’s mastery of Edo-period actor representation.
