Description

Continuing from the previous print, this is also Sharaku's work, depicting a Kabuki scene of "Keisei Sanbon Gasa けいせい3本傘". The image features "Kosodate Kannonbo," played by Sakata Sangoro the third, and "Fuwa Banzaemon," played by Ichikawa Yaozo the third (the figure 八 in the crest on the kimono is read 'ya').

Kannonbo, standing behind, is depicted in a simple kimono, while Banzaemon wears colorful and gorgeously patterned clothes.

Many specialists consider that this is one of Sharaku's best works.
