This picture depicts the head announcer (presumably Shinozuka Uraeimon) at the Miyakoza Theater unfurling a scroll to deliver announcements, including upcoming plays, actor names, and roles.
The head announcer not only delivers announcements but also oversees the entire backstage and ensures the smooth progress of the performances. While not necessarily a top actor, the head announcer is typically a seasoned performer who is well-versed in the intricacies of theater traditions and customs, and commands respect among the actors. "Even in this picture, the facial expression reveals the depth of experience, showcasing the remarkable skill of Sharaku in portraying facial features. His prowess as a portrait artist is evident in this single artwork. Moreover, the picture utilizes only subtle colors like persimmon-colored kimono and indigo undergarments, yet it exudes richness and depth.
The text visible peeking through from behind the scroll reads, 'We will show you part two of the newly published actors' portraits.'
This indicates that this picture should be considered as an introductory illustration to the second phase of Sharaku's works, following the first phase.
