Katsukawa Shunshô
Physical Description
Kabuki Actor Iwai Hanshiro IV in a role as a woman with a sword. The stage appears to be dark aside from a lantern on the ground behind her, which emanates a triangular stream of yellow light directly upwards. The woman looks alertly to her left, with her right hand within her long kimono sleeve, hovering just above the sword handle.

Title
Complete Illustrations of Yoshiwara Parodies of Kabuki: Courtesans of the Matsubaya (Seirô kabuki yatsushiga tsukushi: Matsubaya no uchi)
Artist
Kitagawa Utamaro
Physical Description
This triptych shows courtesans in a garden of Yoshiwara under flowering trees. The inscribed names allow us to identify the women as courtesans of the Matsubaya House, centered on the grand courtesan Yoso’oi (in the central triptych, with the dragon-design obi). Flanking her on either side are two shinzô apprentices, and at the right, two kamuro or child attendants.
The courtesans at left interact with a puppet of the actor Ichikawa Danjûrô VI in his role as Sukeroku. The bearded older man in the center is the villain Hige no Ikyû, Sukeroku’s rival for the affections of the courtesan Agemaki.
