Vintage light green nylon scarf with a printed ukiyo-e portrait of a kabuki actor. The material is 100% nylon from the brand Toray.
The central image is a reproduction of a famous woodblock print by Toshusai Sharaku on a dark green background.
The fabric has a subtle woven floral pattern throughout the light green sections.
Description:
Beautiful vintage Japanese decorative textile featuring a reproduction of a famous **Tōshūsai Sharaku (東洲斎写楽)** ukiyo-e kabuki actor portrait.
The vertical Japanese inscription on the artwork reads **東洲斎写楽画**, identifying the original artist as Tōshūsai Sharaku, one of Japan's most celebrated ukiyo-e artists.
The image appears to depict **Ichikawa Omezō I as the servant Ippei**, originally portrayed by Sharaku in 1794.
This is a later Japanese textile reproduction—not an original 18th-century woodblock print.
The fabric has a beautiful pale sage/seafoam green color with a subtle **woven floral/chrysanthemum-style jacquard pattern** visible throughout. The central portrait is printed in rich green, rust, black, cream and red tones.
