The Third Ichikawa Yaozō as a Daimyo Standing Under a Maple Tree

Katsukawa Shunshō 勝川春章

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a man in traditional Japanese attire, specifically a kimono with a floral pattern in shades of gold, orange, and brown. The kimono has a distinctive design featuring flowers and leaves. He wears his hair in a traditional Japanese style, pulled back and secured with a small ornament. The man holds a folded fan in his hands. He stands on a yellow floor, with a beige wall behind him. A branch with dark leaves extends from the top left corner towards the center. To the right of the man, there is a red seal or stamp and some Japanese characters. The overall color palette is muted, with earthy tones dominating the scene. The man appears to be standing under a maple tree, as suggested by the leaves and branch.
