"Iwai Hanshiro IV as Masaoka and Sawamura Tozo as Yashio" is a notable woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Toyokuni. This artwork is a quintessential example of Toyokuni's mastery in the genre of kabuki actor prints, which were highly popular during the Edo period in Japan. The print captures two prominent kabuki actors of the time, Iwai Hanshiro IV and Sawamura Tozo, in their respective roles as Masaoka and Yashio.

Iwai Hanshiro IV, a celebrated onnagata (male actor specializing in female roles), is depicted as Masaoka, a character known for her loyalty and maternal devotion. His portrayal is marked by delicate features and an elegant posture, reflecting the grace and poise expected of an onnagata. Sawamura Tozo, on the other hand, is shown as Yashio, a character often associated with intrigue and complexity. The contrast between the two characters is vividly brought to life through Toyokuni's adept use of color, line, and composition.

Toyokuni's work is distinguished by its dynamic representation of kabuki actors, capturing not only their physical likeness but also the essence of their stage personas. The artist's attention to detail in the costumes and facial expressions of the actors adds depth and authenticity to the print, making it a valuable piece for both art historians and enthusiasts of Japanese theater.

The print is also significant for its historical context, offering insights into the cultural and artistic milieu of the Edo period. Kabuki theater was a major form of entertainment, and prints like this one served as both promotional materials and souvenirs for theatergoers. Toyokuni's ability to immortalize the fleeting moments of kabuki performances has left a lasting legacy, providing a window into the vibrant world of Edo-period theater.
