"Segawa Kikunojo III and Bando Mitsugoro II in Unidentified Roles" is a notable woodblock print created by the esteemed Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Toyokuni. Toyokuni, who was active during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, is renowned for his portraits of kabuki actors, which capture the dynamic and expressive nature of the theatrical performances of the Edo period. This particular print features two prominent kabuki actors of the time, Segawa Kikunojo III and Bando Mitsugoro II, though the specific roles they are depicted in remain unidentified.

Segawa Kikunojo III (1751-1810) was a celebrated onnagata, a male actor specializing in female roles, known for his grace and beauty on stage. Bando Mitsugoro II (1775-1832), on the other hand, was a versatile actor acclaimed for his skill in both tachiyaku (male hero) and katakiyaku (villain) roles. The collaboration of these two actors in a single print underscores the popularity and significance of their performances in the kabuki theater.

Toyokuni's work is characterized by its attention to detail, vibrant colors, and the ability to convey the personalities and emotions of the actors. The print likely served as a form of promotion for the kabuki theater, allowing fans to celebrate and remember their favorite actors and performances. The exact date of creation for this print is not specified, but it falls within the period when both actors were active and at the height of their careers.

As with many ukiyo-e prints, "Segawa Kikunojo III and Bando Mitsugoro II in Unidentified Roles" provides a valuable glimpse into the cultural and artistic milieu of Edo-period Japan. It reflects the intersection of visual art and performing arts, highlighting the symbiotic relationship between kabuki theater and ukiyo-e prints. This print remains an important artifact for both art historians and enthusiasts of Japanese theater, offering insights into the rich tradition of kabuki and the enduring legacy of its performers.
