The Eighth Morita Kanya in the Role of Oboshi Yuranosuke
A Japanese woodblock print depicting two people in traditional clothing. The man sits on the floor with his right knee bent and left leg extended. He wears a yellow kimono, a white undergarment and a traditional Japanese hairstyle. A sword lies beside him; he holds a folding fan in his right hand. The woman stands beside and behind him, looking down. Her kimono is shades of orange, gold and brown; she wears a traditional Japanese hairstyle adorned with a yellow and black hairpiece. A sliding door with a grid pattern is behind them; a wall and a low bench are to their left.
