This particular print features the actor Arashi Rikan II, a prominent figure in the kabuki theater during the Edo period.

Arashi Rikan II, born in 1788 and active until his death in 1837, was celebrated for his versatile acting skills and his ability to perform a wide range of roles, from heroic warriors to complex villains.

Hokuei's skillful use of line and composition brings a sense of movement and life to the image, making it a striking example of the artist's work.

The woodblock print is part of a larger tradition of actor portraits that were highly popular among the Edo period's urban populace. These prints were often collected as souvenirs by theater-goers and served as a means of celebrating and promoting the stars of the kabuki stage. Hokuei's "Arashi Rikan II Actor" stands out as a significant piece within this tradition, reflecting both the artistic innovation of the period and the enduring appeal of kabuki theater.
