"Portrait En Pied D'Iwai Hanshiro IV Dans Le Role De Shibaraku" is a notable work by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsukawa Shun'ei. Created during the late 18th century, this print exemplifies the vibrant and dynamic style characteristic of the Edo period's popular art form. Katsukawa Shun'ei, a prominent figure in the Katsukawa school, was renowned for his kabuki actor portraits, capturing the essence and theatricality of the performances with remarkable detail and expressiveness.

The subject of this portrait, Iwai Hanshiro IV, was a celebrated onnagata, a male actor specializing in female roles in kabuki theatre. The role of Shibaraku, which Hanshiro IV is depicted in, is one of the most iconic and dramatic in kabuki repertoire, often associated with the aragoto style of acting that emphasizes bold, exaggerated movements and powerful expressions. Shun'ei's portrayal captures the grandeur and intensity of the character, showcasing the actor's elaborate costume and striking pose.

This work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural and historical value. It provides insight into the kabuki theatre of the Edo period, reflecting the societal fascination with this form of entertainment. The detailed depiction of the costume and makeup offers a glimpse into the elaborate preparations and aesthetic considerations of kabuki performances.

Shun'ei's use of color, line, and composition in this print demonstrates his mastery of the ukiyo-e technique and his ability to convey the dynamic energy of the kabuki stage. The portrait stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of both the artist and the actor, preserving a moment in the rich tapestry of Japanese theatrical history.
