Label Text:
This print is signed at lower-left "Gototei Kunisada ga" ('drawn by Gototei Kunisada') and bears the circular kiwame seal of the censor and the mark of publisher Kawaguchiya Uhei of the firm Fukusendō. This style of seal was used by the publisher only until 1833. Along with the kiwame seal, it has been used to narrow the dates of possible publication. The actor is identified at top-right.
