Scene from the play Sukeroku, The Cherry Blossom of Edo, Kunisada (I) , Utagawa, 1862 Canvas Print

In a brothel, a young man offers a pipe with his foot, to the older man to his right. A courtesan looks on from the left. Scene from the kabuki play "Sukeroku the cherry blossom of Edo", staged on the first day of the third month of 1863, in the Ichimura theater. The young man named Sukeroku is played by actor Kawarazaki Gonjûrô I. The old man is played by Ichikawa Danzô VI and the courtesan by actor Iwai Kumesaburô III. The story is about a young man, Sukeroku, but in reality Soga no Gorô, who is looking for a stolen family sword. An older man visits the courtesan Agemaki, also Sukeroku's lover, in the brothel where she works. Sukeroku wants to find out if this man has the stolen sword and challenges him to draw his sword, by offering him a pipe with his foot; a big insult. The purple cloth that Sukeroku has around his head indicates that he is in love. (triptych)
