"L'Acteur Ichikawa Omezo I Dans Le Role De Danshichi Kurobei" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Toyokuni I (1769–1825). Created during the Edo period, this print is part of the genre of actor portraits known as yakusha-e, which were popular among the Japanese populace for their depictions of kabuki actors in various roles. Utagawa Toyokuni was one of the leading figures in the ukiyo-e movement, particularly celebrated for his theatrical prints that captured the dynamism and flair of kabuki performances.

The print portrays the actor Ichikawa Omezo I in the role of Danshichi Kurobei, a character from the kabuki play "Natsu Matsuri Naniwa Kagami" (Summer Festival: A Mirror of Osaka), which was first performed in 1745. The play is a classic of the kabuki repertoire, known for its dramatic storyline involving love, conflict, and the moral dilemmas faced by its protagonist, Danshichi, a fishmonger and otokodate (chivalrous commoner).

In this particular piece, Toyokuni captures the intensity of the actor's performance, emphasizing the emotional and physical expression characteristic of the kabuki theater. The print showcases Toyokuni's skill in portraying the textures of the costume and the intricate details of the actor's makeup, which were designed to be visible from a distance to the audience in the theater.

The artwork is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural importance, as it provides historical insight into the popular entertainment of the Edo period and the celebrities of the day. Utagawa Toyokuni's prints, including "L'Acteur Ichikawa Omezo I Dans Le Role De Danshichi Kurobei," are valuable resources for understanding the visual culture of Japan during this time and the evolution of ukiyo-e as an art form.

As a part of the ukiyo-e tradition, this print is a reflection of the transient world of pleasure and entertainment in Edo-period Japan, and it remains an important work for both art historians and enthusiasts of Japanese woodblock printing. The piece is a testament to Toyokuni's mastery of the yakusha-e genre and his influence on subsequent generations of ukiyo-e artists.
