This ukiyo-e depicts a dramatic kabuki scene featuring the actors Ichikawa Gonjūrō and Nakamura Fukusuke, and was designed by Kōchōrō Utagawa Kunisada, one of the most prolific and influential ukiyo-e artists of the late Edo period. The composition captures a moment of intense confrontation, rendered with exaggerated facial expressions and dynamic poses characteristic of traditional yakusha-e (actor prints). Kunisada’s refined line work and expressive depiction of gesture and costume vividly convey the theatrical tension and emotional drama of the kabuki stage. The finely detailed interior setting and richly patterned garments reflect the visual conventions of kabuki imagery from the late Edo to early Meiji period, when actor prints were immensely popular among urban audiences. The clear narrative structure allows viewers to immediately grasp the dramatic context of the scene. The publisher’s mark is not visible in the present impression, and the publisher is therefore considered unknown. Nevertheless, the work represents a strong and appealing example of Kunisada’s ukiyo-e dedicated to kabuki theater and its celebrated actors.
