This ukiyo-e woodblock print by Tōshūsai Sharaku, created in 1794, depicts the renowned actor Segawa Tomisaburo II in a theatrical role. Tomisaburo II is portrayed as Prince Korehito disguised as the maid Wakakusa of the Otomo family. The striking detail of Sharaku's work, evident in the actor's elegant stance and the intricate patterns of the kimono, highlights the artist's mastery of the genre. This particular print is now part of the collection at the Art Institute of Chicago.
