A fierce glare, aimed right at you. Here stands Danjuro VII, a helmet tucked under his arm.
About this print
A man with a hard stare stands with a long and a short sword at his waist and a helmet tucked under his arm. He wears a kimono with broad horizontal stripes of red, brown and gray, close-fitting black trousers, and sandals on his feet. Below the helmet, something like red armor shows through.
Ichikawa Danjuro VII, named in the title, was the actor who established the Eighteen Great Plays of kabuki. The artist, Utagawa Kunisada, studied under Utagawa Toyokuni I and became a late Edo-period ukiyo-e artist known for actor prints and pictures of beautiful women.
At the top of the helmet, two gold ornaments spread out to the left and right like horns. From under his arm hangs the end of a cloth striped in white and blue.
