On the Yoshida Highway
<p>An actor playing Miyako no O Kuni, the originator of Kabuki who flourished in Kyoto in the early 1600s, is seated in an open second-floor room with an attendant. Ukiyo-no-suke, walking below, holds an umbrella over Kanto Koroku. This is likely a scene from an early drama. Though the roles are identified, neither the name of the play nor the identity of the actors is given.</p>
