Kiyosada Torii -Sharpening the Arrow Women's Sneakers
Kiyosada Torii was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist from the Torii school, a lineage of artists known for their bold, dramatic depictions of kabuki actors, warriors, and mythological figures. Active in the late 19th century, Kiyosada carried forward the tradition of theatrical prints, blending classic Edo-period aesthetics with the evolving Meiji-era artistic styles. His works often feature intricate detailing, rich colors, and dynamic compositions, capturing the intense expressions and elaborate costumes of kabuki performers. His art contributed to preserving the legacy of kabuki theater in print form, influencing later generations of Japanese woodblock artists.
