Going to the Kabuki Theater in the Hour of the Hare, from the series Customs at the Twelve Hours of the Day (Fūzoku Jūni-Ji)

Two women shown in close, half-length view against a plain tan ground: the taller figure at right wears an elaborate coiffure with gold ornamental combs, pink ribbon, and clusters of yellow flowers, her purple plaid outer robe bordered in a pink-and-white floral wrapper over a green under-kimono patterned with pale wave-like motifs. The smaller figure at lower left, positioned slightly behind and below, has a plainer black coiffure with a single yellow hairpin and wears a striped and floral-patterned kimono in green, pink, and purple tones, her face tilted downward. A cartouche at upper left frames the series and sheet titles in Japanese script above the artist's signature; this print, 1805, is a color woodblock work by Kitagawa Hidemaro illustrating "Going to the Kabuki Theater in the Hour of the Hare" from the series *Customs at the Twelve Hours of the Day*.
