Jitsukawa Enjaku I (初代実川延若) as Lord Tsunayoshi (綱義公) and Nakamura Fukusuke III (三代目綱義公) as Osame no Kata (おさめの方).

This Japanese woodblock print diptych vividly captures a scene from kabuki a theater drama, featuring two actors in elaborate traditional costumes. On the right, the actor Jitsukawa Enjaku I portrays Tsunayoshi, seated in a dignified pose with a focused expression. His costume is richly decorated in blue and green tones, adorned with intricate patterns that convey his noble character. On the left, Nakamura Fukusuke III plays Osame no Kata, shown in a more dynamic pose as she leans forward, holding a fan, dressed in a vibrant red kimono patterned with floral and geometric motifs. The background and props, such as the traditional Japanese screens and pine tree, enhance the historical and cultural setting of the play, emphasizing the artistry and attention to detail characteristic of ukiyo-e prints from this era.
The overall composition beautifully illustrates the theatricality and color of kabuki performances, capturing the essence of the characters and the dramatic tension of the scene.
