This woodblock print showcases Matsumoto Koshiro V in the role of Kudo Toraemon Kudosuke, a beloved character from the traditional Japanese comedy known as 'Kabuki.' Dating between 1828 and 1835, this print offers a glimpse into the rich cultural history of Japan during the Edo period. Matsumoto Koshiro V, a renowned actor of his time, is depicted here in a full-length portrait, standing slightly to the left with a serene expression on his face. He wears traditional geta sandals and a formal kimono, adding to the authenticity of the scene. The courtyard setting, with its intricate details and lush greenery, further enhances the visual appeal of the print.

Kudo Toraemon Kudosuke is a popular comic character who often appears in Kabuki performances as a mischievous and clever servant. This woodblock print is a testament to the enduring appeal of Kabuki theater and the artistry of Japanese woodblock printing during the Edo period. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the image to life, offering a window into the past and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to influence Japanese art and entertainment today.
