The First Nakamura Nakazo in the Role of Chinzei Hachiro in the Drama "Kite Kaeru nishiki no wakayagi"
The image depicts a man wearing a traditional Japanese robe with a predominantly orange and white color scheme, featuring a floral pattern. He has a head covering and appears to be barefoot. The man is holding a child on his back, with one arm around the child's legs and the other supporting their back. The man and child are positioned in front of a small, square, orange-colored object with a circular opening on top, emitting smoke. To the left of the object, there are three wavy lines suggesting flames. The background features a wall with a tiled roof section at the top, comprising alternating tan and white tiles. The wall is beige, and there is some Japanese writing on the right side.
