"Iwai Kumesaburo II in the Role of a Lover" is a woodblock print by Utagawa Kunisada, also known as Toyokuni III, who was a prolific and highly regarded ukiyo-e artist in 19th-century Japan. This print is part of Kunisada's extensive body of work that often depicted kabuki actors, a popular subject in ukiyo-e art. The print portrays the kabuki actor Iwai Kumesaburo II, known for his onnagata roles, where male actors specialize in playing female characters in kabuki theatre.

In this particular piece, Iwai Kumesaburo II is depicted in the role of a lover, a common theme in kabuki plays that often explored the complexities of love and romance within the constraints of Edo-period society. Kunisada's mastery of the ukiyo-e technique is evident in the intricate details of the actor's costume and the expressive features that capture the emotional depth of the character. The print is a testament to Kunisada's ability to convey the subtleties of kabuki performance and the cultural nuances of the time.

As a part of the ukiyo-e tradition, this print not only serves as a visual record of the kabuki theatre and its actors but also reflects the broader cultural and artistic milieu of the Edo period. Kunisada's work, including "Iwai Kumesaburo II in the Role of a Lover," remains an important resource for understanding the history of Japanese art, theatre, and society.
