Untitled is a 1787 ink by Katsukawa Shunshō, a Romanticism work, depicting Actor, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a man in traditional Japanese clothing. He wears a long green robe over a red sash, with a black sword hanging at his side. His face is serious, and the background has a simple patterned design. The way the lines are drawn keeps things clean and clear—no messy shading. His outfit and sword suggest he might be someone important, like a performer. If you like this style, check out Katsukawa Shunshō.
Katsukawa Shunshō spent his life in Edo (now Tokyo), where the city’s teahouses and theaters buzzed with energy.
