Men's nagajuban with kabuki actors, Onderkimono (nagajuban) for a man with a decoration on the upper half of the backs of four partially overlapping rectangular images, two of actors in checkered kimono of which one with a cloth around the head, two with paper strips with texts, two wide horizontal bands with large and small block motifs. The actor with the headscarf is 'Kirare Yosa' ('Yosa with the cuts'), with two scars of cuts on the chest, the other 'Komori Yasu' ('Yasu the Bat'), to the tattooed bat on (here not visible) cheek. Both men participate in the crime in the kabuki play 'Yo wa nasaki ukina no yokogushi'. The paper strips are probably sponsors' calling cards. On the left back three black family arms (mon), by the officers Nakamura Shikan, Morita Kanya and Ichikawa Sadanji, on the front of the right sleeve two family arms, from Ichikawa Sadanji and Jitsukawa Ensaburo.
