About the piece
Created in 1726 by Torii Kiyonobu, this elegant ink and color work depicts the actor Arashi Sangorō I performing the theatrical 'Catching the Fox' dance. The piece showcases the bold, rhythmic lines and expressive posture characteristic of the Torii school, set against a minimalist paper ground that allows the detailed patterns of the kimono to stand out.
