A woodblock print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, this portrait depicts Oribe Yahei Kanamaru, a figure associated with the Akō vendetta. The print showcases Kuniyoshi's skill in capturing the likeness and character of his subjects.
This woodblock print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861) depicts Oribe Yahei Kanamaru, a figure associated with the Akō vendetta. Kuniyoshi was a prominent artist of the Ukiyo-e style during the Edo period in Japan. He is known for his depictions of historical and mythical scenes, as well as portraits of warriors and actors. His work often displays a flair for the dramatic and a keen eye for detail. The portrait shows Kanamaru in a contemplative pose, holding a long sword over his shoulder. He is dressed in a patterned garment, with a plant in a blue and white pot visible to the right. The print includes inscriptions and cartouches with text, typical of Ukiyo-e portraiture. The colour palette is restrained, with blues, reds, and browns dominating the composition. The print exemplifies Kuniyoshi's skill in capturing the likeness and character of his subjects within the conventions of the Ukiyo-e tradition.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
