About this print
By a bamboo fence stands a woman in a patterned gray kimono, purple peeking out at the hem. To the right hangs a navy curtain, with red and gold goods piled beneath it. On the left is someone in a striped kimono, and from the eaves above hang many white and red lanterns marked with crests.
This is the center sheet of a three-sheet nishiki-e (multicolored woodblock print). The Morita-za, a kabuki theater, left Saruwakacho, named in the title, in 1872, 17 years before this print came out in 1889. It moved to Shintomicho in Kyobashi (today's Shintomi in Chuo Ward), and in 1875 changed its name to the Shintomi-za.
Look closely at the navy curtain: two white circles are dyed into it, each holding a crest of a different shape. The crest in the right-hand circle looks like spreading leaves.
