This ukiyo-e print, "The Actors Sanjo Kantaro II as Osome and Ichikawa Monnosuke as Hisamatsu in the play 'Osome Hisamatsu Tamoto no Shiro Shibori,' performed at the Morita theater, 1720," by Okumura Masanobu depicts two kabuki actors in costume. Sanjo Kantaro II plays the role of Osome, a young woman, and Ichikawa Monnosuke plays the role of Hisamatsu. The print captures the vibrant colors and intricate details of the actors' clothing, typical of Masanobu's style. This piece, now held by the Art Institute of Chicago, provides a glimpse into the world of kabuki theater and the artistic practices of Edo-period Japan.
