"The Actor Iwai Hanshiro IV as Okumi of the Mieido Fan Shop (?) in the Play Sanjuk-koku Yobune no Hajimari (?), Performed at the Ichimura Theater (?) in the Fifth Month, 1789 (?)" is an 18th-century woodblock print by the Japanese artist Katsukawa Shun'ei. The ukiyo-e print depicts a kabuki actor, Iwai Hanshiro IV, in a role playing Okumi, a character in the kabuki play Sanjuk-koku Yobune no Hajimari. The print features the actor in a graceful pose, showcasing the elaborate costumes and hair styles of the kabuki theatre. The print exemplifies Shun'ei's style, known for its precise lines and delicate use of color, and is a fine example of the Edo period's obsession with theatrical performance.
