Context:

This scene, set before the bamboo-pole enclosure of a playing ground for court football (kemari), is based loosely on the events of 'New Herbs: Part One' (Wakana no Jo), chapter 34 of the Tale of Genji. Yamashita Kinsaku II (right) plays the part of Mutsuhana, a daughter of Regent Michinaga. Mutsuhana serves as lady-in-waiting to the Third Princess (Nyosan no Miya) and as go-between in the love affair between the Third Princess and the young courtier Kashiwagi no Emon (played by Bando Mitsugoro I, standing center). Here she is holding a branch of maple from which is hanging one of the deerskin footballs used in the game of kemari. At Kashiwagi's feet kneels the muscular manservant Akamatsu Mushanosuke (played by Nakamura Sukegoro II in allover red body makeup).Kabuki Nempyo relates that Ichikawa Danjuro V as Mumezu no Kamon made his entrance together with Kinsaku II and Sukegoro II via a trapdoor in the stage. He demanded that Kashiwagi give up the Third Princess to him and hit Kashiwagi on the head with a kemari boot when the latter refused, in a parody of the famous dispute over a woman between Fuwa Banzaemon and Nagoya Sanza (see The Actor's Image' catalogue, No. 30, 110).
