The Actor Nakamura Tomijuro as a Tall Woman in a Flat Straw Hat
Two-panel artwork featuring a male and female figure. The man on the left is wearing a kimono with intricate designs, including orange, yellow, and brown patterns, and has a traditional Japanese hairstyle. He holds a walking stick in his right hand. The woman on the right wears a long kimono with beige, pink, and gray colors, and a large, flat straw hat. She holds a pipe-like object to her mouth with her right hand. The background includes a large mountain, possibly Mount Fuji, with sun rays descending from the top, and a body of water with small hills. The color palette is muted, with shades of beige, brown, orange, and gray. Japanese characters are written vertically on both panels.
