This is a Japanese woodblock print from 1862 by Utagawa Kunisada (Toyokuni), published by Hirokō, part of a picture album of kabuki actors shown in theatrical roles. The two prints show costumed actors in close, tightly cropped compositions with bold patterned kimono, a designer can take from their dense checked and striped textiles and strong diagonal poses.
