Nojiri: Iwai Hanshiro VII - Attractive kabuki portrait of Iwai Hanshiro VII as a beauty leaning forward with an eager smile as she tugs at a blue and white towel draped over her shoulder. She wears a gray-violet kimono over a red under robe with a tie-dyed collar, her hair pulled back into a smooth bun adorned with a green lacquer comb and hairpin, and a white ribbon tied in a bow. The background shows a road winding up a steep hill at right, with a few rooftops visible in the valley below at left. A charming design with soft bokashi shading in the background and fine line work in the hair.
