"Ichikawa Ebijuro Nakamura Utaemon Osaka Edo period" by Shunkosai Hokushu is a Japanese woodblock print, also known as ukiyo-e, from the Edo period. This artwork is a portrait of two prominent kabuki actors of the time, Ichikawa Ebijūrō and Nakamura Utaemon, who were celebrated for their performances in the Osaka theaters. Shunkosai Hokushu, the artist behind this piece, was an ukiyo-e designer known for his portraits of kabuki actors, sumo wrestlers, and scenes of daily life in Osaka during the late Edo period.

The print likely depicts the actors in roles from a popular kabuki play, capturing the dramatic expressions and elaborate costumes characteristic of the theatrical form. Kabuki was a popular form of entertainment in Edo-period Japan, and prints of actors were sought after by fans and collectors. The art of ukiyo-e, which translates to "pictures of the floating world," often reflected the hedonistic lifestyle and interests of the urban populace, including the vibrant theater scene.

Shunkosai Hokushu's work is significant for its contribution to the Osaka school of ukiyo-e, which was distinct from the more well-known Edo (Tokyo) school. Artists from Osaka often displayed a particular finesse in their use of color and attention to detail, which can be observed in the intricate patterns of the actors' costumes and the nuanced portrayal of their facial features.

This print serves as an important cultural artifact, offering insight into the popular culture of the Edo period, the artistry of kabuki theater, and the craftsmanship of ukiyo-e artists in Osaka. It is a testament to the rich tradition of Japanese woodblock printing and its role in documenting and disseminating the performing arts of the time.
