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'. |
