The onnagata actor Segawa Kikunojō III (also known as Segawa Senjo) is presented here as Oshizu, the wife of Tanabe Bunzō, from the play Hana Ayame Bunroku Soga. Her prominent features and posture (with her hand tucked into her obi) are interesting aspects of the print - is she about to pull something out from her sash, or is it simply a mannerism? The MFA holds an early impression of the portrait.
