This ukiyo-e print, "The Actors Ichikawa Monnosuke II as Munesada, Segawa Kikunojo III as the courtesan Sumizome, and Nakamura Nakazo I as Sekibei, in the play "Tsumoru Koi Yuki no Seki no To," performed at the Kiri Theater in the eleventh month, 1784," depicts a scene from a Kabuki play. The print is an example of the work of Torii Kiyonaga, a prominent artist during the Edo period in Japan. The vivid colors and delicate lines of the print capture the beauty and drama of this theatrical performance.
