Description:
Kabuki actors (left - right: Nakamura Shikan, Iwai Hanshiro, Onoe Kikugoro) are in the roles of three people in a meeting near a bridge. This triptych stands out because of the bald sumi-e style strokes on the background. The rain-like vertical lines indicate perhaps they are on a balcony with thin curtains.
