The image showcases two renowned kabuki actors, Ichimura Kamezo I and Sanogawa Ichimatsu I, in their mesmerizing roles as Sengokuya Ihei and his wife Omatsu. Dressed in exquisite traditional costumes, the actors exude an aura of elegance and grace. Their elaborate kimonos adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors add a touch of theatricality to the scene. The attention to detail is remarkable, from the carefully crafted calligraphy on their cartouches to the meticulously designed hairstyles that complete their characters' personas.
