"The Actor Morita Kan'ya XIII in the Role of Jean Valjean" is a notable woodblock print created by the Japanese artist Kōka Yamamura. This artwork is a part of the shin-hanga movement, which sought to rejuvenate traditional ukiyo-e art with modern sensibilities and techniques during the early 20th century. Kōka Yamamura, born in 1885 and active until his death in 1942, was a prominent figure in this movement, known for his skillful portrayal of kabuki actors and scenes from contemporary theater.

The print captures the celebrated kabuki actor Morita Kan'ya XIII in the role of Jean Valjean, the protagonist of Victor Hugo's classic novel "Les Misérables." This role is significant as it represents a cultural crossover, where a Western literary character is interpreted through the lens of Japanese kabuki theater. Morita Kan'ya XIII, a distinguished actor of his time, was renowned for his versatility and ability to bring complex characters to life on stage. His portrayal of Jean Valjean would have been a unique blend of traditional kabuki performance techniques and the dramatic narrative of Hugo's novel.

Yamamura's work is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, vibrant colors, and dynamic composition, all of which are evident in this print. The artist's ability to convey the emotional depth and intensity of the character through the medium of woodblock printing is a testament to his mastery. This piece not only highlights the talents of both Yamamura and Morita Kan'ya XIII but also serves as an example of the cultural exchange between East and West during the early 20th century.
