The painting by Torii Kiyomasu II depicts actors Tamazawa Saijiro I and Segawa Kikunojo I in their roles from the kabuki play "Sazareishi Suehiro Genji," performed at the Nakamura Theater in Edo in 1744. This work exemplifies the ukiyo-e tradition of yakusha-e, or actor prints, which celebrated the popular kabuki theater culture of the Edo period.

The woodblock print by Torii Kiyomasu II depicts two kabuki actors, Tamazawa Saijiro I and Segawa Kikunojo I, in a dynamic composition characterized by bold lines and vibrant colors typical of the benizuri-e technique. The figures are adorned in elaborate costumes with intricate patterns, capturing the theatricality and stylized expressions emblematic of 18th-century kabuki performances.
