Created by the renowned artist Shunsho, this masterpiece showcases the actor Nakajima Mihoemon II in the role of Shujaku Tenno during a performance at the Nakamura Theater in the eleventh month of 1777.

The actor is depicted wearing a traditional hosoban kimono, which is characterized by its narrow width, and a distinctive hat, adding to his regal and intimidating appearance. The print is a stunning example of the Katsukawa School's artistic style, which was known for its vivid colors and intricate details.

The print is a one-of-a-kind piece that would make a stunning addition to any art collection, particularly those focusing on Asian art or the arts of Asia."
