Actor Ichikawa Danjūrō IX as Hanako, a Shirabyoshi (female dancer); Nakamura Shikan IX as Sakurako; Kataoka Gado III as Don'nen-bo (monk); and Nakamura Tokizō I as Un'nen-bo, from the Kabuki play Shunshoku Ninin Dōjōji (Ichimura-za Theatre)

Baidō Kunimasa (1848–1920; born in Nihonbashi, Edo) is recorded as having studied from childhood with Utagawa Kunisada I (1786-1865); following Kunisada’s death, he continued under Kunisada II. Working through the early decades of the Meiji period, he produced numerous designs that took up contemporary subjects associated with modernization—most notably the railway. In the field of actor prints, he adhered to the Utagawa school’s late-Edo styles, leaving a substantial body of work that documents kabuki as it transitioned from the Edo to the Meiji era. He is particularly noted for his portraits of Ichikawa Sadanji I.
