The kabuki actor Kataoka Gado II (二代目片岡我童) as Yasuda Tomoharu (安田友春).
This print shows the actor Kataoka Gado II as Yasuda Tomoharu, a character from the Noh theatre drama Mochitsuki (望月).
Information about this version of the print are scarce. It actually doesn`t show anywhere the sign of the artist, but having another identical print Hirosada`s sign on the left side
of the blue cartouche containing the character name it may be reasonable to consider this one an edition released soon after the first one.
A black seal on the lower left corner (蔦勘, Tsutakan) should suggest us the publisher name, different, however, from the one Hirosada used to work with, named Kinkadō (金華堂).
