相模屋亭主|Actor as Master of Sagamiya (Sagamiya teishu) is a 1832 ink by Utagawa Kunisada, a Romanticism work, depicting Actor, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
In this vibrant woodblock print, a man and a young girl are depicted in a room with a blue wall adorned with white and black designs. The man, wearing a long, striped robe, stands with his right arm extended, while the girl, dressed in a brown kimono with a red and white pattern, looks up at him. A small table to the left holds a yellow teapot and a box of food. The man's facial expression suggests he is speaking to the girl, who seems to be listening intently. The scene is set against a backdrop of a room with a window and a wall featuring Japanese characters. This print is reminiscent of the work of Utagawa Kunisada, a Japanese artist known for his colorful and detailed woodblock prints.
