akayama Tomisaburō as Tsukuba Gozen, the consort of Nitta Yoshioki.

This is the right-hand sheet of the triptych.

The outer robe is violet with the stream pattern in what was once light blue, and with touches of rose in the cherry blossoms. The lining is deep rose, and the under kimono pale rose with a pattern in white reserve.

The subject is reproduced in color in the Vignier-Inada Catalogue, number 319, plate 94, and under the same number in black and white. Rumpf rephotographs that impression for his number 90; and one with an inscription indicating that the actor was thought of as “floppy” (gunya), is reproduced by Kurth and Nakata.
