Untitled is a 1766 ink by Torii Kiyomitsu, a Romanticism work, depicting Actor, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a man in bright, patterned robes holding a bow and arrows. His outfit has bold reds, greens, and golds with swirling designs. He’s standing sideways, looking focused, with a quiver of arrows slung over his shoulder. The Japanese text around him suggests this is a scene from theater. The artist used clean lines and flat colors to make the figure stand out against the plain background. Look up actor next to see how theater shaped this kind of artwork.
