Created by the talented artist Torii Kiyotsune between 1764 and 1775, this exquisite piece measures 29.6 x 12.5 cm. The focal point of the print is Iwai HanshirAc, a renowned actor who mesmerized audiences with his performances. Standing tall and facing right, he embodies the character of ShirabyAcshi, a shirabyoshi dancer portraying a woman dressed as a man. Through his portrayal, HanshirAc brings forth an intriguing blend of femininity and masculinity that captivates viewers. Kiyotsune's masterful use of color adds depth and richness to the composition. Every detail is meticulously crafted, from the intricate patterns on HanshirAc's costume to the delicate expressions on his face.

This print not only showcases artistic brilliance but also offers us a glimpse into Japan's cultural heritage during this period.
