Ichiryūsai Yoshitoyo

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A woman with a leopard print head and tail, wearing a yellow and black patterned kimono with blue lining, a white top and head covering, and red and blue undergarms, holds a white cloth in her right hand and appears to be removing her kimono. A man in a white head covering, black jacket, and yellow pants, with a red and blue sword, crouches to the left and looks at the woman with his mouth open. He has one leg bent. Green leaves are on the left. The background is beige with black Japanese writing.
