The Fourth Iwai Hanshiro in three roles of the shosa "Shichi Henge"
A woodblock print depicts three people. The background is a beige color with a tiled roof at the top. A woman stands at the back, wearing a kimono with a diamond pattern and a long orange sash. She holds a folding fan in her right hand. Her hair is pulled back and adorned with an accessory. To her right, a man sits on a low chair, wearing a green kimono with an orange lining and a circular emblem on the sleeve. His hair is covered with a brown headpiece. He looks to his right and gestures with his right hand. In front of the man, a woman kneels on the floor, wearing a kimono with a floral pattern. She looks up to her right. The print is rendered in a traditional Japanese style.
