Ichikawa Danjūrō V in the Scene "Five Chivalrous Commoners" from the Play A Soga Drama on the First Festival Day
Four-panel artwork depicting a Japanese scene. The artwork features four men standing side by side. They wear green robes with pink accents and hold swords. The man on the far left wears a robe with pink flowers. The second man from the left wears a white garment under his robe, and his head is bowed. The third man from the left holds a sword in front of him. The man on the far right holds a sword behind him. The background is beige at the top and yellow at the bottom. The men have black hair pulled back into a topknot. The artwork appears to be a traditional Japanese woodblock print. The men are likely actors, given the style and context. The image includes Japanese characters on the bottom right of each panel.
