Ichikawa Eibizo (Former Name: Danjuro V) in the Role of Iwafuji
The image depicts a Japanese woodblock print of a man dressed as a woman. The man wears a pink kimono with a white floral pattern and gold and green accents. He has his hair styled in a traditional Japanese updo with a headband. His kimono is open at the front, revealing a white under-kimono. He stands on a tan floor with his left leg bent and his right leg extended behind him. A branch with blossoms extends from the top right corner over his head. The background is a light brown color with a slight gradient to a lighter shade behind the man. Small black Japanese characters are written vertically on the right side of the image.
