The Actor Nakamura Tomijuro as a Woman Wearing a Red Cape
The image depicts a Japanese woodblock print of an actor dressed as a woman, wearing a red cape with circular white designs. The woman's hair is styled in an updo with black hairpins. Her outfit consists of a red outer garment with a white design on the back and sleeves, and a gray undergarment adorned with white flowers. She holds a long, thin object, possibly a bow or staff, in her right hand. The background features a beige wall with a large window or sliding door on the left side and a sliding panel on the right side. The floor appears to be made of wood planks. There are several Japanese characters written vertically along the left edge and on the right side of the image. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of red, beige, gray, and white.
