Width: 10 in. Display Dimensions: 14 1/4 in. x 10 in. ( cm x cm) Publisher: Wakasaya Yoichi Credit Line: 'Gift of Captain George B. Powell, Jr., JAGC, USN' Label Copy: 'In a shiraby?shi (white rhythm) dance, courtesans dress in twelfth-century mens costumes and play male roles in an inversion of the norm. The hero of the Inaka Genji, Mitsuuji, is enjoying the production, while he is being served sake, and three female musicians behind him provide musical accompaniment. Kunisada thought correctly that placing Mitsuuji as a spectator of a shiraby?shi would be a popular subject among his print-buying public. Nowhere in the Inaka Genji itself does such a scene occur.' Label Copy (Spanish): 'En una danza de shiraby?shi (ritmo blanco), las cortesanas estn vestidas en trajes de hombres y representan papeles masculinos, contrario a la norma. El hroe del Inaka Genji, Mitsuuji, disfruta la produccin mientras le sirven sake y tres msicas detrs de l le proporcional acompaamiento musical. Kunisada no se equivoc al pensar que si colocaba a Mitsuuji como espectador de un shiraby?shi este sera un tema popular entre el pblico que compraba sus impresiones. Esta escena no ocurre en ninguna parte del Inaka Genji.' Collection: The San Diego Museum of Art . 15 July 2009, 14:55:31.
