Beautiful scene of the play Sumidagawa tsui no kagamon. The main plot is based on the cunning machinations of Tsubone Iwafuji, which lead to the suicidal death of the good and peaceful Onoe. However, the servant Ohatsu stood up for her mistress. Ultimately, Ohatsu avenges the death of her mistress by killing her evil rival with a sandal zori, which she had slipped into. On the left is Onoe Kikujirō II as the maidservant (Meshitsukai) Ohatsu holding an umbrella. At right, Sawamura Chôjûrô V as Tsubone Iwafuji.
