Comments - Interesting scene of a matron peering around the edge of a folding screen at the sumo wrestler Nuregami Chogoro, who scratches his head in surprise as he looks up from his bed. The woman smiles at him, while the courtesan Azuma cowers on the floor in front of her, grinning but hiding her head beneath her kimono sleeve. Kawarazaki Gonjuro I plays Chogoro. A handsome design, nicely colored and detailed.
