This picture depicts the scene of Ninokuchimura in the play 'Yomononishiki Kokyō no Tabiji,' which was rewritten from Chikamatsu's 'Meido no Hikyaku,' performed at the Kiriza Theater in August of the sixth year of Kansei.
"Kameya Chūbei, driven to commit a serious crime due to love and financial difficulties, embarks on a journey with his lover, Keisei Umekawa. Before their final parting, Chūbei expresses his desire to visit his hometown and see his adoptive father, Ninokuchimura Magoemon. By chance, they meet Magoemon, who, of course, does not recognize Umekawa. Magoemon kindly fixes her sandal strap and offers assistance without knowing that Umekawa is the woman who led his son into committing the crime. He subtly guides them to escape the pursuers, displaying a scene filled with poignant emotions. The emotional connection between the two characters is overflowing in this picture. "In particular, Tomisaburō's portrayal (which can be called acting) of the emotions toward his son-in-law is so deeply expressed, even down to the fingertips, that it showcases the greatness of Sharaku. His portrayal captures both the essence of the character and the inner beauty of the woman, despite her being a courtesan but displaying an uncharacteristic gracefulness, highlighting Sharaku's greatness. This artwork, which depicts both the actors and the emotions of their roles, can be considered one of his masterpieces.
