Otani Tokuji as the Servant Sodesuke in Flowering Irises: A Soga Vendetta of the Bunroku Era
The image depicts a traditional Japanese woodblock print of a man. The man has a slender face and a distinctive hairstyle with black hair on the sides and a light blue topknot. He wears a dark robe with a white circular emblem on the chest, featuring an X shape inside. A white undergarment is visible on his arms. The man holds an object in his left hand, which appears to be a wrapped object. He looks to the right with a slight smile. The background of the print is a mottled gray-brown color. There are Japanese characters written vertically on the right side of the print. The overall composition suggests a scene from a traditional Japanese play.
