Matsumoto Yonesaburo as Kewaizaka no Shosho in the Play "Katakiuchi Noriyaibanashi"
The image shows a traditional Japanese woodblock print depicting a woman. The woman has dark hair styled in an updo with a decorative hairpiece. She wears a kimono with a brown and white patterned top and black bottom. A light orange lining is visible at the top of the kimono. The woman holds an object, possibly a fan or pipe, in her right hand. The background of the image is a mottled grey-brown color. The woman's facial features include dark eyes and eyebrows. Her head is turned to the left. The overall style and aesthetic suggest the artwork is a classic example of ukiyo-e.
