"Actor Arashi Rikan II as Ogata Rikimaru" is an iconic artwork by Sekkatei Hokushu. The portrait depicts Arashi Rikan II, a famous Japanese Kabuki actor of the late Edo period who specialized in portraying heroic male roles. In this work, the actor is portrayed as Ogata Rikimaru, a character known for complicated and contradictory personalities.

The artist, Sekkatei Hokushu, was renowned for his ukiyo-e style of woodblock prints and painting, specializing in Yakusha-e, a genre of ukiyo-e depicting kabuki actors. This portrait is an epitome of his highly detailed characterization skills and use of vibrant colors. It exemplifies the thematic styling of kabuki theater and the characterization of kabuki roles, which accentuates the dramatic posturing and frequently surreal make-up details that define kabuki actors and their roles.

The artwork, thus, serves as a historical record of kabuki theater, highlighting performance art in the Edo period while emphasizing the broader artistic tradition of ukiyo-e. It uniquely captures the synthesis of theater and art, making it appreciated among collectors and historians alike. Although the date of its creation is not definitively established, it is generally believed to be produced in the early 19th Century. The specific interpretation of the role by Arashi Rikan II and its depiction by Hokushu adds a rich layer to the cultural and artistic significance of this portrait.
