"Portrait of the Actor Arashi Sangorō II" is a notable ukiyo-e woodblock print by the Japanese artist Katsukawa Shunshō, who was active during the Edo period. This print is part of the genre of yakusha-e, which focuses on depicting kabuki actors, a popular subject in ukiyo-e prints. Shunshō is renowned for his portraits of kabuki actors, which are characterized by their expressive features and dynamic poses that capture the essence of the actors' performances.

The print features Arashi Sangorō II, a prominent kabuki actor of the time, known for his versatility and skill in both male and female roles. In this portrait, Shunshō captures the actor in a dramatic pose, likely reflecting a moment from a well-known play or a signature role that the actor was famous for. The artist's attention to detail in the actor's costume, makeup, and expression conveys a sense of the theatricality inherent in kabuki performance.

Katsukawa Shunshō's work is significant for its influence on the ukiyo-e genre, particularly in the development of actor portraiture. His style set a precedent for future generations of ukiyo-e artists, including his pupils and members of the Katsukawa school. "Portrait of the Actor Arashi Sangorō II" exemplifies Shunshō's mastery of the yakusha-e form and provides insight into the cultural landscape of Edo-period Japan, where kabuki theatre was a major form of entertainment and a subject of fascination for the urban populace.

This print, like many ukiyo-e works, would have been produced through a collaborative process involving the artist, carvers, printers, and publishers. It reflects the technical skill and artistry required to create the vivid and intricate designs that characterized the ukiyo-e prints of the period. As an important work by Katsukawa Shunshō, "Portrait of the Actor Arashi Sangorō II" holds a place in the history of Japanese art and continues to be studied and appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and cultural significance.
