Description

This print of actors Sanogawa Ichimatsu (right) and Nakamura Shotarō (left) may be based on this benizuri-e print by Kiyomasu perhaps of the kabuki play Hatsu Tora Kurama Genji performed at the Ichimura theatre in 1749. The two characters appear to be in conversation, one looking up from reading a letter, and their kimono are very elaborate and eye-catching.
