"A Scene from the 4th act of a kabuki play, Ashiya Doman Ouchi Kagami, 1830" is a notable woodblock print created by the Japanese artist Shigeharu. This artwork is a vivid representation of a scene from the kabuki play "Ashiya Doman Ouchi Kagami," which translates to "The Mirror of Ashiya Doman and Ouchi." Kabuki, a classical Japanese dance-drama, is known for its stylized performances, elaborate costumes, and dynamic stagecraft, and Shigeharu's print captures these elements with remarkable detail and artistry.

Shigeharu, active during the Edo period, was a prominent ukiyo-e artist, a genre of woodblock prints and paintings that flourished in Japan from the 17th to the 19th centuries. Ukiyo-e, which means "pictures of the floating world," often depicted scenes from kabuki theater, courtesans, and landscapes, reflecting the vibrant urban culture of the time. Shigeharu's work is distinguished by his ability to convey the dramatic intensity and emotional depth of kabuki performances.

The print from 1830 showcases a pivotal moment in the fourth act of the play, highlighting the intricate costumes and expressive gestures of the actors. The composition is meticulously crafted, with attention to the flowing lines of the garments and the dynamic poses that convey the narrative's tension and drama. The use of color and shading in the print exemplifies the sophisticated techniques employed by ukiyo-e artists to bring their subjects to life.

"Ashiya Doman Ouchi Kagami" is a tale steeped in intrigue, supernatural elements, and complex character interactions, making it a rich source of inspiration for artists like Shigeharu. His depiction not only serves as a visual record of the kabuki performance but also as a testament to the cultural and artistic milieu of Edo-period Japan. Through this work, Shigeharu contributes to the preservation and celebration of kabuki theater, offering contemporary audiences a glimpse into the historical and artistic heritage of Japan.
