Notes | Matsumoto Koshiro IV as Fujiya Izemon, the disinherited heir to a prosperous fan shop, is seated dispondently holding a shamisen against his knee. Standing over him is Mimasu Tokujiro as his lover Yugiri, a courtesan of the Osaka Shimmachi quarter. The famous play by Chikamatsu Monzaemon treated the tribulations of the couple, the rival suit of a rich samurai for Yugiri's hand and this samurai's desire to adopt the love-child of Yugiri and Izaemon as his own heir. Seated on the dais above in the centre is the leading chanter of the Tomimoto school, Itsuki-tayu, in full plaintif song, with the supporting chanter Hisa-tayu on the left and the shamisem player Sasaki Ichishiro to the right.

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only.
