Comments - Terrific kabuki scene of six commoners making a religious pilgrimage to a waterfall. The fellow in the center carries a large black lacquer signpost or marker covered with writing over his shoulders, his hair tied back with a twisted cloth. The man behind him stretches a towel between his hands, while at lower left, another man rings a bell. The fellow at far right ties a striped sash around his waist, grinning happily, while his companion grimaces up at him, holding a large knife in his hand. Five of the men wear boldly patterned blue and white cotton kimono. A striking design with expressive figures and lively color. Includes burnishing in the black signpost.

Artist - Kunichika (1835 - 1900)
