"Onoe Kikugoro as Soga no Goro" is a significant work by Okumura Masanobu, a pioneering Japanese ukiyo-e artist known for his innovative contributions to the genre during the Edo period. This piece is a woodblock print that depicts the kabuki actor Onoe Kikugoro in the role of Soga no Goro, a character from the popular Soga Brothers' revenge tale, which has been a recurring theme in Japanese literature, kabuki theatre, and visual arts. Masanobu's work is notable for its early use of the *benizuri-e* technique, which allowed for the application of limited color to prints, a precursor to the full-color *nishiki-e* prints that would dominate the genre later.

The artwork captures the dramatic intensity of the kabuki performance, showcasing Masanobu's skill in portraying the emotional depth and physical dynamism of the actor. The print is characterized by its bold lines, attention to detail, and the effective use of color to highlight the dramatic expression and the intricate costume of the character. Masanobu's innovative approach to composition and his ability to convey the essence of kabuki theatre through the static medium of printmaking contributed significantly to the development of ukiyo-e as a form of popular culture in Edo-period Japan.

"Onoe Kikugoro as Soga no Goro" is not only a testament to Masanobu's artistic skill but also provides insight into the cultural and entertainment practices of the time, reflecting the popularity of kabuki theatre and the stories that resonated with the Edo audience. As such, this work holds a place of importance in the study of Japanese art history, offering a window into the evolving styles and themes of the ukiyo-e tradition.
