「日本万歳 百撰百笑」「御注進御注進 骨皮道人」

A large caricatured head dominates the upper portion of the composition: a round pink face with oversized circular spectacled eyes, a bulbous nose, and a downturned mouth, topped by a blue hood and set against a blue collar with a mustard-yellow garment beneath. Below, a row of smaller figures in dark blue-black robes kneel or crouch in profile, facing toward the giant head, their poses suggesting alarm or supplication. A block of vertical Japanese text with a red seal fills the upper right corner; the palette is limited to blue, mustard yellow, black, and white, giving the print a flat, graphic, comic quality. Woodblock print by Kobayashi Kiyochika, titled 「日本万歳 百撰百笑」「御注進御注進 骨皮道人」, year unknown.
