Iwai Hanshirō IV as a Woman with a Sword

Katsukawa Shunei

Cleveland Museum of Art

A woman, dressed in an orange kimono with white polka dots and a black kimono with white stripes underneath, holds a katana with both hands. She wears an obi wrapped around her waist and her hair is styled in an updo. She stands on a beige floor, and there are bare branches visible at the top. The background features a wall made of vertical wooden slats. A signature and seal are present in the lower right corner. The woman's clothing and hairstyle suggest she is dressed for a traditional Japanese role.
