Here’s the rewrite: This print shows a kabuki actor named Ichikawa Yebijuro. He wears a bold kimono with a checked pattern. His face is painted white, a common style for actors in this theater. Toyokuni made many prints like this. They helped fans remember their favorite stars. The lines are crisp and the colors stay bright even after centuries. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of his work.
