"Katsukawa Shunshō Ippitsusai Bunshō" is a woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. This print is part of Hokusai's series of portraits of kabuki actors, which he produced during the 18th century. The work depicts two influential figures in the ukiyo-e genre: Katsukawa Shunshō and Ippitsusai Bunshō, both of whom were prominent designers of actor prints in their time.

Katsukawa Shunshō (1726–1792) was a leading artist of the Katsukawa school and is best known for his portrayals of kabuki actors, which were characterized by their realistic and dynamic style. Ippitsusai Bunshō was active during the 1760s and 1770s and is recognized for his innovative use of color and composition in actor prints. In Hokusai's depiction, the two masters are shown in a moment of artistic collaboration or perhaps as a symbolic representation of the ukiyo-e tradition they helped to shape.

Hokusai's print serves not only as a tribute to these earlier masters but also as a reflection of his own artistic lineage. As a former student of the Katsukawa school, Hokusai began his career under the name Shunrō and was influenced by the styles of Shunshō and other artists of the school before developing his own distinct approach and eventually adopting the name Hokusai.

The "Katsukawa Shunshō Ippitsusai Bunshō" print is an example of Hokusai's mature style, which is marked by bold lines, attention to detail, and a sophisticated use of color. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of the ukiyo-e masters and the vibrant cultural scene of the Edo period in which they worked. This print is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value in documenting the lineage and development of ukiyo-e artistry.
