"Sanbaso Performer" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849). Created during the Edo period, this print is part of Hokusai's oeuvre that captures the vibrant cultural life of Japan through depictions of actors, dancers, and scenes from kabuki theatre. The Sanbaso performer, a character traditionally associated with Japanese Noh and kyogen theatre, is often featured in celebratory dance performances that are believed to bring good fortune and to purify the stage for other acts.

In Hokusai's depiction, the Sanbaso performer is typically shown in elaborate costume, complete with a distinctive hat and a mask, which are emblematic of the character's role as a joyful harbinger of auspicious events. The print showcases Hokusai's skill in capturing movement and expression, as well as his attention to the intricate details of the performer's attire. The dynamic posture of the figure, often caught mid-dance, conveys a sense of rhythm and performance that is central to the Sanbaso tradition.

As part of Hokusai's body of work, "Sanbaso Performer" reflects the artist's fascination with the transient world of entertainment and his mastery of the ukiyo-e technique. Hokusai's prints, including this one, have had a profound influence on the development of Japanese art and have also garnered significant appreciation in the West, contributing to the Japonisme movement of the late 19th century. "Sanbaso Performer" remains an important piece for scholars studying the intersection of Japanese traditional theatre and visual arts, as well as for enthusiasts of Hokusai's rich and enduring artistic legacy.
