"Actors In A Play About The Events Around The Treachery Of Akechi Mitsuhide" is a woodblock print created by the Japanese artist Gigadō Ashiyuki, who was active during the late Edo period. This print is part of the ukiyo-e genre, which depicts the "floating world" of fleeting pleasures and transient beauty, often showcasing kabuki actors, sumo wrestlers, and scenes from history and folklore.

The artwork captures a scene from a kabuki play that dramatizes the historical events surrounding the betrayal of Akechi Mitsuhide, a samurai who is infamous for his treachery against Oda Nobunaga, one of Japan's great unifiers. Mitsuhide's betrayal led to Nobunaga's death in the Honnō-ji Incident in 1582. Kabuki plays often reinterpreted such historical events, adding elements of drama and spectacle to appeal to contemporary audiences.

Ashiyuki's print is notable for its vivid portrayal of the actors in mid-performance, capturing the intense emotions and dynamic action characteristic of kabuki theater. The actors are depicted in elaborate costumes and makeup, which help to convey their characters' roles and status. The print is part of a larger tradition of yakusha-e, or actor prints, which served both as promotional material for the plays and as collectible items for fans of the kabuki theater.

As a work of art, "Actors In A Play About The Events Around The Treachery Of Akechi Mitsuhide" is significant for its representation of Edo-period cultural practices and its contribution to the visual record of kabuki theater. It provides insights into the ways in which historical narratives were adapted for popular entertainment and how printmaking served as a medium for the dissemination of these stories.

The print is an example of the collaborative nature of ukiyo-e production, involving the artist, the carver, the printer, and the publisher. It reflects the technical skill and artistic sensibility required to produce such detailed and expressive imagery, which has come to be appreciated not only in Japan but also internationally as part of the country's rich artistic heritage.
