The Actor, Ichikawa Danjuro I, 1660–1704 as a Woman in Unidentified Role
A woodblock print depicts a man and a woman. The man stands on the left wearing a yellow and black kimono with a geometric design. He has black hair and holds a sword in his right hand and a scabbard in his left. The man appears to be wearing a female disguise and looks down at the seated woman. The woman sits on the right wearing a kimono with a floral design, sitting on a patterned box with a chair behind her. She looks down. The background shows a floor made of wood or stone slabs and part of a wall with a window. There are flowers on the right side. The print includes Japanese characters in black ink. The color palette includes shades of yellow, black, and brown. The artwork style and clothing suggest it is from the Edo period.
