Japanese ink and color print, shin- hanga style, by Tsuchiya Kōitsu – A kabuki actor stands on a dimly lit stage, frozen in a dramatic pose, his face painted in bold red and white kumadori patterns. His elaborate costume, adorned with swirling golden embroidery, catches the light, the fabric’s intricate folds rendered in striking detail. His wide sleeves billow as he raises his arm, gripping a wooden fan painted with a fiery dragon. The background is a deep, inky black, with faint silhouettes of an audience beyond the stage, their faces barely visible through the haze of paper lantern light. The dynamic composition captures the intensity of performance, the raw emotion conveyed through sharp contrast and exquisite detail. Niji, aidma- niji
