"Actors Ichikawa Danjuro VII as Mongaku and Matsumoto Koshiro V as Fudo Myoo" is a notable woodblock print created by Utagawa Kunisada, a prominent Japanese ukiyo-e artist of the 19th century. This artwork is part of the genre of yakusha-e, which focuses on kabuki actors and their theatrical roles. In this print, Kunisada captures the dramatic intensity of a kabuki scene featuring two of the era's most celebrated actors: Ichikawa Danjuro VII and Matsumoto Koshiro V.

Ichikawa Danjuro VII, renowned for his powerful performances and his role in popularizing the aragoto (rough style) acting technique, is depicted in the character of Mongaku, a repentant monk with a tumultuous past. This role highlights themes of redemption and spiritual fervor, characteristics that align well with Danjuro's dynamic acting style.

Beside him, Matsumoto Koshiro V is portrayed as Fudo Myoo, one of the Five Wisdom Kings in Japanese Buddhism, known for his fierce demeanor and role as a protector. Koshiro V, a versatile actor known for both his onnagata (female roles) and tachiyaku (male roles), embodies the fiery deity with a compelling presence that complements his theatrical repertoire.

Kunisada's print not only serves as a visual record of these actors in their prime but also reflects the cultural and artistic vibrancy of the Edo period's kabuki theater. The artwork is celebrated for its intricate detail, dynamic composition, and the skillful use of color, which enhance the dramatic effect of the portrayed scene. This print remains an important piece in the study of ukiyo-e and kabuki history, offering insights into the period's performing arts and the iconic figures who shaped its legacy.
