"Ichikawa Danjuro VII in an Elaborate Costume Decorated with Catfish" is a notable woodblock print created by the esteemed Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865). Kunisada, also known as Utagawa Toyokuni III, was one of the most prolific and popular designers of ukiyo-e woodblock prints in the 19th century. His works primarily focused on kabuki actors, beautiful women, and scenes from Japanese literature and folklore.

This particular print features the renowned kabuki actor Ichikawa Danjuro VII, a prominent figure in the world of kabuki theater during the Edo period. The Ichikawa Danjuro lineage is one of the most celebrated in kabuki history, known for their dynamic performances and the development of the aragoto (rough style) acting technique. Danjuro VII, who lived from 1791 to 1859, was instrumental in popularizing the kabuki theater and is remembered for his powerful stage presence and versatility in various roles.

In the print, Danjuro VII is depicted in an elaborate costume adorned with catfish motifs. The costume is richly detailed, showcasing Kunisada's exceptional skill in capturing the intricate designs and textures of kabuki attire. The catfish, or "namazu" in Japanese, is a significant symbol in Japanese culture, often associated with earthquakes due to a popular myth that a giant catfish living beneath the earth causes tremors when it moves. The inclusion of catfish in the costume design may carry symbolic meanings, possibly alluding to the actor's powerful and unpredictable nature on stage.

Kunisada's portrayal of Danjuro VII not only highlights the actor's prominence in kabuki theater but also reflects the cultural and artistic vibrancy of the Edo period. The print serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of both Kunisada as an artist and Danjuro VII as a kabuki icon, capturing a moment in time when the performing arts flourished in Japan.
