"Bando Mitsugoro IV as Sekibei and Onoe Kikugoro III as Somezone in Tsumoru koi yuki seki no to" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Kunisada, also known as Toyokuni III. Created during the Edo period, this print is part of the ukiyo-e genre, which depicts the "floating world" of transient pleasures and forms a significant part of Japanese art history. The print features two prominent kabuki actors of the time: Bando Mitsugoro IV and Onoe Kikugoro III, portraying the characters Sekibei and Somezone, respectively, in the play "Tsumoru koi yuki seki no to" (The Accumulated Love at the Snowy Barrier Gate).

Utagawa Kunisada was one of the most popular and prolific ukiyo-e artists, known for his portraits of kabuki actors and beautiful courtesans. In this print, Kunisada captures the dramatic intensity of the kabuki performance, showcasing the actors in a moment of emotional tension. The artwork is characterized by its vivid colors, intricate patterns, and the expressive faces of the actors, which reflect the stylized acting and elaborate makeup that are hallmarks of kabuki theater.

Bando Mitsugoro IV (1775-1831) and Onoe Kikugoro III (1784-1849) were both highly respected actors in the kabuki world. Their portrayal of Sekibei and Somezone in "Tsumoru koi yuki seki no to" is a testament to their skill and versatility. The play itself is a classic example of kabuki drama, filled with themes of love, honor, and sacrifice, set against the backdrop of historical or domestic conflicts.

This print is not only a representation of the actors' performances but also serves as a historical record of the cultural milieu of the Edo period. It reflects the popularity of kabuki theater and the celebrity status of its actors, as well as the artistic achievements of Utagawa Kunisada. As such, it is an important work for scholars studying Japanese art, culture, and theater history.
