Kametani Jujiro as the Shirabyoshi Dancer Yuya is a 1764 by Torii Kiyomitsu, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This woodblock print shows a dancer in a bright green hat and a long, flowing robe with pink and green patterns. One arm holds a fan, the other a scroll, and she stands near a basket of fruit and a flowering branch. The background is mostly plain, but there’s a small moon symbol in the top corner and Japanese text along the right side. The dancer’s pose looks lively, with one leg bent forward and the other straight. The colors are bold—mostly greens, pinks, and blacks—with careful details on the robe’s fabric.
