Actors' Hanami Party
This example of a Kamigata print (called Kamigata-e for the region including the cities of Osaka and Kyoto) depicts a group of actors who are distracted from viewing sakura blossoms by a small frog. It was conceived as the second of four sheets in a multi-panel work—a full impression of which is in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts collection. The actors shown here have been identified as Fujikawa Tomokichi II (a.k.a. Fujikawa Kayū II), Kataoka Nizaemon VII, Arashi Danpachi I, and Kataoka Korokurō I.
