The story of this work

Overview

An engraving by Hasegawa Settan from 1832, this illustration of Saruwaka kabuki is derived from an earlier print and depicts a performance at the Nakamura Theatre, founded by Saruwaka Kanzaburo in 1624; the costume shown dates to around 1680, likely as a tribute to the first actor-manager.
