"The Actor Bando Hikosaburo as the Daughter of Wada a Nobleman" is a woodblock print by Utagawa Kunisada, also known as Toyokuni III, who was a prolific and influential ukiyo-e artist of the Edo period in 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 Bando Hikosaburo, a renowned figure in the theatrical world, in the role of a nobleman's daughter.

Kunisada's prints are characterized by their vivid colors, attention to detail, and dynamic compositions, which are all evident in this artwork. The actor is depicted with an expressive pose and elaborate costume, which was typical of the kabuki theater and reflected in the stylized presentation of the prints. The portrayal of the actor in a female role, known as onnagata, is a testament to the gender-bending tradition of kabuki, where male actors would often play female characters due to the ban on women performing on stage during the Edo period.

The print is a fine example of Kunisada's mastery of the ukiyo-e technique and his ability to capture the essence of kabuki theater. It also offers insight into the cultural practices of the time, particularly in the context of popular entertainment and the representation of gender roles in Japanese society. As with many of Kunisada's works, this print would have been part of a series, possibly illustrating scenes from a specific kabuki play or showcasing the actors in various roles.

Utagawa Kunisada's work remains highly regarded for its artistic quality and historical value, providing a window into the world of Edo-period Japan and its rich theatrical traditions. "The Actor Bando Hikosaburo as the Daughter of Wada a Nobleman" stands as a significant piece within Kunisada's oeuvre, reflecting the interplay between art, theater, and societal norms of the time.
