Ichimura Uzaemon IX as Shirabyoshi 1763 is a notable ukiyo-e woodblock print created by the Japanese artist Torii Kiyotsune. This artwork is a significant example of the Edo period's kabuki actor prints, a genre that flourished during the 18th century. Torii Kiyotsune, a member of the prominent Torii school of ukiyo-e artists, is known for his dynamic and expressive depictions of kabuki actors, capturing the essence of theatrical performances and the personalities of the actors themselves.

The print features Ichimura Uzaemon IX, a celebrated kabuki actor of the time, in the role of a shirabyoshi. Shirabyoshi were female dancers in medieval Japan who performed traditional Japanese court dances dressed in men's clothing. This role is particularly interesting as it showcases the kabuki tradition of onnagata, where male actors specialized in playing female roles. Ichimura Uzaemon IX's portrayal of a shirabyoshi would have been a display of his versatility and skill in embodying both male and female characteristics on stage.

The artwork is characterized by its vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and attention to detail, which are hallmarks of Kiyotsune's style. The composition likely includes elements that highlight the actor's costume, makeup, and the dramatic pose typical of kabuki theater. These prints were not only popular among theatergoers but also served as promotional materials for kabuki performances, helping to immortalize the actors and their roles.

Ichimura Uzaemon IX as Shirabyoshi 1763 is an important cultural artifact that provides insight into the kabuki theater and the ukiyo-e art form. It reflects the interplay between performance and visual art in Edo-period Japan, offering a glimpse into the entertainment and artistic practices of the time. This print remains a valuable piece for both art historians and enthusiasts of Japanese culture, illustrating the enduring legacy of kabuki theater and the ukiyo-e tradition.
