"Ogino Isaburo I As Ishibe Kinkichi" is a Japanese woodblock print created by Okumura Toshinobu, an artist active during the Edo period. This print is part of the ukiyo-e genre, a style of Japanese art that flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries, which often depicted the leisurely urban lifestyle of Edo (modern-day Tokyo), including scenes from kabuki theater, which is the likely context of this particular work.

The print portrays the actor Ogino Isaburo I in the role of Ishibe Kinkichi, a character from a kabuki play. Kabuki is a traditional Japanese form of theater known for its stylized drama and the elaborate make-up worn by its performers. Actors in kabuki plays were often the subjects of ukiyo-e prints, which served as a form of popular culture memorabilia, much like modern-day posters of movie or music stars.

Okumura Toshinobu was an artist who contributed to the world of ukiyo-e prints, although not as well-known as contemporaries such as Hokusai or Hiroshige. His works, however, provide valuable insights into the cultural and artistic milieu of the time. The print "Ogino Isaburo I As Ishibe Kinkichi" exemplifies the close relationship between the kabuki theater and ukiyo-e artists, who captured the vibrant performances and popular actors of the day in their prints.

The visual composition of the print, the actor's expressive pose, and the intricate detailing of the costume all reflect the aesthetics of the Edo period's ukiyo-e art. Such prints were not only artistic representations but also served as a means to promote the kabuki theater and its actors to the broader public.

As with many ukiyo-e prints, the work of Okumura Toshinobu is significant for its historical and cultural value, offering a window into the popular entertainment and visual culture of Edo-period Japan. "Ogino Isaburo I As Ishibe Kinkichi" stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the ukiyo-e tradition and its influence on the perception and documentation of Japanese theater and society during this period.
