This piece was from my mother-in-laws husband’s mother’s collection who lived in Japan with her husband in the 1950s. In good condition but it does have some wear from not ever being framed over the years. It is glued lightly to a thin posterboard type material. I believe this is titled Actor Ichikawa Danjûrô VI as Isami no Jû. The piece is about 15″ tall by 10″ wide not including the posterboard it is attached on. Please see photos for details.

Utagawa Toyokuni I Edo Woodblock Print Actor Ichikawa Ichizo Samurai Kabuki Art. Actor Ichikawa Ichizo as a Samurai Under a Cherry Tree. Original Japanese Woodblock Print (yakusha-e, “actor portrait”). No visible publisher seal; signed “Toyokuni ga” in lower left. 15.25 x 10.25 inches (oban size). A striking kabuki actor portrait by Utagawa Toyokuni I, one of the most influential masters of the Utagawa school. This piece depicts the famed actor Ichikawa Ichizo in a dramatic pose beneath a flowering cherry branch, dressed in richly patterned garments and dual swords. The bold lines, expressive face, and dynamic stance reflect Toyokuni’s mastery of theatrical portraiture during the golden age of Edo kabuki prints. Appears clearly at left, confirming authorship. This print remains in fair-to-good condition for its age, exhibiting notable foxing throughout the margins, minor creasing, and slight soiling and toning typical of early 19th-century impressions. The image retains strong line work and balanced pigment, particularly in the blue and red garments. There is no trimming into the image area and no tears or major losses, making it a solid and display-worthy Edo-period example. The backing boards will be covered in a moisture wrap for further protection against liquid and will then be wrapped in bubble wrap for shock absorption. If you have questions, please ask before purchasing.
