Scene of the Drama "Oakinai Hiru-ga-Koshima"

Torii Kiyonaga

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A traditional Japanese woodblock print depicts three men in traditional Japanese clothing. A man stands at the back, wearing a red and green kimono with a patterned design. He holds a green hat in one hand. Two men kneel in front of him, one on the left wearing a light-colored kimono and the other on the right wearing a black and orange kimono. A green box with pink flowers on top sits between them. A sword stands upright on the left. A canopy with tan fabric and a green base is above the men. Cherry blossom branches are on either side. The background is a beige color.
