The Actor Otani Hiroji III and the Actor Onoe Kikugoro I
Two men in traditional Japanese clothing, with black hair styled in topknots, are depicted in a diptych. The man on the left wears a green and orange patterned undergarment, a gray robe draped over his shoulders, and has no footwear; he is barefoot, with a sword strapped to his waist and an object resembling a mallet or club behind him. The man on the right wears an orange robe over a long gray garment with a patterned sash around his waist; he has a sword at his side. Both figures stand on a green floor. Behind them, there appears to be a structure with white walls, brown trim, and green window coverings, and a brown beam overhead.
