Ritsumeikan University - left-hand panel in black and white These two prints represent the middle and left panels of a triptych. The right-hand panel shows a fox, transformed as a princess, i.e., Chieda of Izumi (和泉の千枝狐), watching. That actor is Iwai Hanshirō V. To see that print see the Waseda University link shown above.

Although it is incredibly subtle one of the crests of Danjūrō VII, a peony, appears as a decoration of the hilt of the actor's sword. You can see it by clicking on the image, enlarging it.
