The First Nakamura Tomijuro as a Woman

Katsukawa Shunkō

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A woman in a traditional Japanese kimono, standing and facing right. The kimono is a mix of green, red, and gray colors with a wave and floral pattern. She wears a hat-like headpiece with a fan-shaped decoration on top and holds a hand fan in her right hand. Her hair is styled up with two sticks on either side. The background is a light beige color with a yellow floor. The woman's clothing and hairstyle suggest she may be from the Edo period. The image is an ink-based painting or print.
