"The Actors Ichikawa Danjuro VII as Umeomaru" is a notable woodblock print created by the esteemed Japanese artist Utagawa Kunisada, also known as Toyokuni III. Kunisada, who was active during the late Edo period, is celebrated for his prolific output and significant contributions to the ukiyo-e genre, particularly in the realm of kabuki actor portraits, known as yakusha-e.

This particular print features the renowned kabuki actor Ichikawa Danjuro VII, one of the most famous and influential actors of his time, depicted in the role of Umeomaru. Umeomaru is a character from the kabuki play "Sugawara Denju Tenarai Kagami" (Sugawara and the Secrets of Calligraphy), which is a classic work in the kabuki repertoire. The play, first performed in 1746, is a historical drama that revolves around the life of Sugawara no Michizane, a scholar, poet, and politician of the Heian period who was deified as Tenjin, the god of learning.

Kunisada's portrayal of Ichikawa Danjuro VII captures the dynamic and expressive nature of kabuki theater, emphasizing the actor's dramatic pose and elaborate costume. The print is characterized by its vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and attention to detail, which are hallmarks of Kunisada's style. The artist's ability to convey the personality and charisma of the actor, as well as the theatricality of the performance, makes this work a quintessential example of yakusha-e.

"The Actors Ichikawa Danjuro VII as Umeomaru" not only highlights Kunisada's artistic prowess but also serves as a historical document that offers insight into the cultural and theatrical practices of the Edo period. The collaboration between Kunisada and Ichikawa Danjuro VII exemplifies the symbiotic relationship between ukiyo-e artists and kabuki actors, both of whom played pivotal roles in the popular culture of their time. This print remains a valuable piece for both art historians and enthusiasts of Japanese theater, reflecting the enduring legacy of kabuki and ukiyo-e in Japan's artistic heritage.
