Notes

Smith 1988

The print describes the transfer in November 1755 of the Kabuki actor Matataro to the Nakamura-za theatre, where he joined Tomijuro. The 'haiku' poem inscribed on the print says that the scent of plum blossom (crest of Nakamura, in the role of a samurai, standing) has been added to the 'wheel of arrows' (the crest of Tomijuro, in the role of a prostitute, kneeling and performing the Tea Ceremony). The print is signed 'The brush of Torii Kiyohiro'.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
