"The Actors Iwai Hanshiro IV as Okume (right), and Ichikawa Monnosuke II as Koshiba Yukienojo Disguised as the Eboshi Seller Rokusaburo (left), in the Play Katakiuchi Adana Kashiku, Performed at the Nakamura Theater in the Seventh Month, 1779" is an 18th-century *ukiyo-e* woodblock print by Katsukawa Shunkō depicting two actors in character. The print, housed in The Art Institute of Chicago, showcases the vibrant colors and meticulous detail characteristic of the *ukiyo-e* style. The composition features the two figures against a backdrop of plants and trees, creating a sense of depth and movement. The expressive faces and elaborate costumes of the actors are depicted with striking precision, capturing the essence of the Kabuki theater performance.
