The Actor Otani Hiroji I 1699–1747 in the Role of a Fish–vendor

The image depicts a Japanese woodblock print of an actor dressed as a fish vendor. The man has a stern expression on his face and is wearing a traditional Japanese robe with a blue and white striped sash around his waist. He is barefoot and has a long sash hanging from his shoulder. The man holds a sign in his right hand. He stands in front of a wooden box or stall with a large fish visible inside. The background of the print is blue-green. The artist's signature is written vertically along the right edge of the print. The overall design and style suggest that this is a traditional ukiyo-e woodblock print from 18th-century Japan.
