Kabuki Actor Ichikawa Danjūrō V in a Shibaraku (Stop Right There!) Role

The image depicts a Japanese woodblock print of a man dressed in traditional clothing. The man has black hair and is wearing a kimono with a brown, white and gold design. He is barefoot and wearing a patterned robe over the kimono. The robe is brown, white and gold. He holds two swords in his right hand. The swords have gold and brown hilts and black blades. His left hand is raised with the palm facing outward. The background of the image is beige with a slight yellow tint at the bottom. There are Japanese characters written vertically on the right side of the image. The print's color palette and traditional dress suggest it was created in the Edo period.
