説明：
A young man (wakashū) posing as Otokodate Sukeroku The striking figure depicted in this print is the eponymous hero of the kabuki play Sukeroku (also known as The Flower of Edo). Written by Tsuuchi Jihei II and Tsuuchi Han’emon in 1713, it is based on the military chronicle The Soga Brothers, and recounts Sukeroku’s exploits, from avenging the death of his father to falling in love with the courtesan Agemaki. His identity is subtly hinted at here with the bamboo flute known as a shakuhachi and the umbrella he holds, which are both a part of the dance he performs on a bridge before entering his first scene in the play.
