Comments - Attractive portrait of Onoe Kikujiro II as Hamaji, the daughter of village headman Hikiroku. She is shown eavesdropping outside a doorway, sliding the panel open and tilting her head as she listens. Her kimono is shaded from gray to rose, with a pattern of embossed white flowers and colorful medallions, tied with a black obi that reverses to a red tie-dyed print. Her hair is pulled back into a smooth bun, adorned with a red lacquer comb, hairpins, and ribbons. A handsome design, nicely colored and detailed.

Artist - Toyokuni III/Kunisada (1786 - 1864)
