Katsukawa Shunshō 勝川春章 Japanese
Not on view
Ichikawa Danjūrō V, in the role of the old woman Shiromasu-baba, wears a straw raincoat and a very wide straw hat slung across his back. He leans upon a staff and carries a bamboo basket of young fronds of bracken. Following this scene, the actor made a quick costume change and reappeared, dressed in a gaudy robe, as Hōjō Tokimasa bearing the head of Shiromasu, whom he has just killed.
