"Sodesaki Iseno I in an Unidentified Onnagata Role of a Yujo" is a Japanese woodblock print by Okumura Masanobu, an ukiyo-e artist active during the Edo period. This print is part of the genre known as yakusha-e, which focuses on depicting kabuki actors. The subject of the print, Sodesaki Iseno I, was a renowned onnagata, a male actor who specialized in playing female roles in kabuki theatre. In this particular piece, Iseno is portrayed in the role of a yujo, which translates to "courtesan," a common character type in kabuki plays.

Okumura Masanobu (1686–1764) was a pivotal figure in the development of ukiyo-e art, known for his innovative techniques and contributions to the evolution of the full-color print, or nishiki-e. His works often featured the popular culture of the time, including the kabuki theatre and the demimonde of the Yoshiwara district.

The print captures the delicate aesthetics of the onnagata, emphasizing the beauty and grace that these actors brought to their portrayal of female characters. Masanobu's attention to detail in the costume and makeup reflects the elaborate and stylized nature of kabuki performance. The print is a valuable historical record of the art of kabuki and the skill of an onnagata in early 18th-century Japan.

As a work of art, "Sodesaki Iseno I in an Unidentified Onnagata Role of a Yujo" is significant for its representation of the cultural and artistic practices of the Edo period. It offers insight into the gender roles within kabuki theatre and the visual language that artists like Masanobu employed to convey the nuanced performances of actors like Sodesaki Iseno I. The print remains an important piece for scholars studying ukiyo-e, kabuki, and the broader cultural history of Japan.
