The Actor, Matsumoto Koshiro I 1674–1730 Reading a Letter

A man wearing a traditional Japanese robe stands facing right. The robe is mainly orange with a pattern of white circles. A white sash with black Japanese writing runs diagonally across the robe from the man's left shoulder to his right hip. The man wears a headband and has short black hair. He appears to stand on tatami or a tatami-like floor. A checkered pattern runs along the floor to the right. The background features horizontal lines with orange cloud-like shapes. The color of the print fades to a darker orange at the bottom.
