Portrait of the Actor Nakayama Tomisaburo as a Woman

Utagawa Kunimasa

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a Japanese woodblock print of a person dressed as a woman. The person has a neutral expression on their face and is looking to the right. Their dark hair is styled in an updo and covered by a black hat with a pink bow on top and a wide brim. A pair of chopsticks are placed on top of the hat. The person wears a pink kimono with white designs and a brown undergarment with white designs. They hold a pink object up to their chest with their right hand. The background of the print is beige, with some Japanese text written vertically on either side of the image. A small floral design is visible behind the person's right shoulder. The print appears to be on aged paper with a white border around it.
