This is not my artwork. This is a woodblock print from Japanese artist Toyohara Kunichika titled "Kabuki Actor from Shibaraku" made in 1864 during the late Edo period. This is from a new exhibition at a local fine arts museum near me that focuses on samurai armor through Japan's history as well as woodblock prints such as this one from the Edo period.
Alt text: A Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print features a dramatic kabuki actor in a bold pose, wearing an elaborate costume with intricate patterns and vibrant colors. His face is painted with striking red and white kumadori makeup, emphasizing his intense expression. He holds a folding fan and wears a black headpiece adorned with sharp, angular ornaments. Behind him, a large red and white umbrella adds to the dynamic composition. The background showcases a nighttime street scene with a full moon and traditional wooden buildings with signage. There is a framed border around the print.
