Description: Set against a bare background, this print features the kabuki actors Arashi Shirogoro II (right) as Sushiya Yazaemon and Matsumoto Kōshirō V (left) as Igami no Gonta in the iconic “Sushi Shop” scene from Act III of Yoshitsune Senbon Zakura (Yoshitsune and the Thousand Cherry Trees), a classic kabuki play written by Takeda Izumo II, Miyoshi Shōraku, and Namiki Senryū.

The minimalist backdrop draws attention to the dramatic expressions of the actors, capturing the emotional tension and theatricality of the scene.
