"Standing Portrait Of A Young Komuso" is a distinguished woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Toyokuni I (1769–1825). Toyokuni, a prominent figure in the Utagawa school, is celebrated for his kabuki actor portraits and bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women), but this particular work showcases his versatility and keen eye for capturing the essence of Edo period culture.

The print depicts a young komuso, a member of a sect of mendicant monks known for their distinctive straw basket hats (tengai) and bamboo flutes (shakuhachi). Komuso monks were part of the Fuke sect of Zen Buddhism, and they roamed the countryside playing their flutes as a form of meditation and alms-seeking. The portrait captures the serene and contemplative nature of the komuso, emphasizing the spiritual and cultural significance of these wandering monks in Japanese society.

Toyokuni's mastery of the woodblock printing technique is evident in the intricate details and delicate lines that define the komuso's attire and the texture of the straw hat. The composition is both simple and profound, with a focus on the figure's posture and expression, which convey a sense of calm and introspection. The background is typically minimalistic, allowing the viewer to concentrate on the subject.

This work is a testament to Toyokuni's ability to transcend the popular themes of his time and delve into the more spiritual and philosophical aspects of Japanese life. It also reflects the broader ukiyo-e tradition of documenting and celebrating the diverse facets of Edo period culture. "Standing Portrait Of A Young Komuso" remains an important piece in the study of Japanese art, offering insights into the religious practices and societal roles of the era.
