The Ninth Ichimura Uzaemon in the Title Role of the Drama Nagoya Sanza

Two figures are shown from behind, walking away from the viewer beneath a wooden gate framed by a gnarled pine tree, their deep, woven wicker hats concealing their faces. Both wear pale robes patterned with crests over the shoulders and trailing floral-patterned undergarments in orange and white, with black sashes crossing their backs and wooden geta on their feet; each carries a long wrapped staff or pole slung over one shoulder. The palette is limited to sage green, muted orange, black, and cream against aged paper, with vertical columns of Japanese text at left; the scene is captioned "The Ninth Ichimura Uzaemon in the Title Role of the Drama Nagoya Sanza," a 1757 woodblock print in ink and color on paper by Kitao Shigemasa.
