"L'acteur Sawamura Tanosuke En Onnagata" is a notable woodblock print created by the esteemed Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Kunisada, also known as Utagawa Toyokuni III. Kunisada was one of the most prolific and popular designers of ukiyo-e woodblock prints in the 19th century, particularly known for his portraits of kabuki actors, beautiful women, and scenes from Japanese literature.

This particular print features the celebrated kabuki actor Sawamura Tanosuke III, who was renowned for his performances in onnagata roles—male actors specializing in female characters. Onnagata were a distinctive and essential element of kabuki theater, embodying the grace and poise of female characters in a period when women were prohibited from performing on stage. Sawamura Tanosuke III was one of the most famous onnagata of his time, admired for his ability to convey the subtleties and emotional depth of his characters.

Kunisada's depiction of Sawamura Tanosuke III in this print captures the elegance and refinement associated with onnagata roles. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate patterns of the actor's kimono, the delicate features of his face, and the poised, graceful posture that epitomizes the idealized femininity of kabuki's female characters. The print not only serves as a testament to Kunisada's artistic skill but also as a historical document reflecting the cultural and theatrical practices of Edo-period Japan.

The collaboration between Kunisada and Sawamura Tanosuke III highlights the symbiotic relationship between ukiyo-e artists and kabuki actors during this era. Prints like "L'acteur Sawamura Tanosuke En Onnagata" were popular among the public, serving both as promotional materials for kabuki performances and as collectible art pieces for fans. This work remains a significant example of the intersection between visual art and performing arts in Japanese culture, illustrating the enduring legacy of both Kunisada and Sawamura Tanosuke III in the history of Japanese art and theater.
