"Full-length Portrait Of The Actor Matsumoto Koshiro In A Female Role, The Silhouette Of A Male Figure Visible Through The Shoji Screen" is a notable work by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Ippitsusai Buncho. Created during the Edo period, this artwork exemplifies the intricate and expressive style characteristic of Buncho's oeuvre. Ukiyo-e, which translates to "pictures of the floating world," is a genre of Japanese art that flourished from the 17th to the 19th centuries, depicting scenes of kabuki actors, sumo wrestlers, beautiful women, landscapes, and erotica.

Ippitsusai Buncho, active in the late 18th century, was renowned for his portraits of kabuki actors, known as yakusha-e. His works are celebrated for their delicate lines, subtle color palettes, and the ability to capture the essence of the theatrical characters portrayed. This particular piece features Matsumoto Koshiro, a prominent kabuki actor of the time, in an onnagata role—a male actor specializing in female roles. The portrayal of Koshiro in a female role underscores the kabuki tradition where male actors often played both male and female characters, showcasing their versatility and the stylized nature of kabuki theater.

The composition of the artwork is particularly striking, with the full-length figure of Koshiro elegantly dressed in traditional female attire, standing in front of a shoji screen. The shoji screen, a common element in Japanese interiors, adds depth to the scene and introduces an intriguing visual element: the silhouette of a male figure visible through the translucent paper. This subtle detail not only enhances the narrative quality of the piece but also reflects the layered and multifaceted nature of kabuki performances.

Through this work, Buncho captures the duality and performative aspects of kabuki theater, blending realism with stylization. The piece serves as a testament to the cultural and artistic vibrancy of the Edo period, offering viewers a glimpse into the world of traditional Japanese theater and the masterful artistry of Ippitsusai Buncho.
