"Yamanaka Heikurō and Ichikawa Danjūrō II, 1714" is a Japanese woodblock print created by Torii Kiyonobu I, an influential artist in the Torii school of Japanese ukiyo-e art. The print depicts two prominent kabuki actors of the early 18th century: Yamanaka Heikurō, a well-known onnagata (male actor specializing in female roles), and Ichikawa Danjūrō II, who was part of the prestigious Ichikawa family of actors and the son of Ichikawa Danjūrō I, the founder of the Danjūrō line of actors.

Created in 1714, this work is an example of early ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art that flourished between the 17th and 19th centuries, which focused on subjects from the "floating world," such as kabuki actors, sumo wrestlers, courtesans, and scenes from history and folk tales. The print is significant for its portrayal of the actors in a dramatic pose, capturing the theatricality and expressive gestures characteristic of kabuki performance.

Torii Kiyonobu I was instrumental in developing the style of ukiyo-e that celebrated the kabuki theater. His prints often featured bold lines, vivid colors, and dynamic compositions that reflected the energy and drama of the kabuki stage. "Yamanaka Heikurō and Ichikawa Danjūrō II, 1714" is a quintessential example of Kiyonobu's work and an important piece in the history of Japanese printmaking, offering insights into the visual culture of the Edo period and the popularity of kabuki theater.

This print is not only a valuable artistic artifact but also a historical document that provides a glimpse into the world of Edo-period entertainment and the celebrity status of kabuki actors. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Torii school and its role in shaping the aesthetics of ukiyo-e art.
