Please refer to the images for full detail.

About the print
One of the great tragic subjects of the kabuki stage: the doomed obsession of the priest Seigen for the beautiful Princess Sakura. Kunisada stages the climax by night, beneath a blossoming cherry that drifts pink and white against a black sky. Sakura-hime shrinks back behind her sleeve in a magnificent flowered furisode, her long obi streaming across the sheets to where the fallen Seigen — wild-eyed in his grey robes — clutches at it with one hand and a grave-marker with the other. At the right, the servant Yodohei, a heavy trunk roped to his back, seizes the marker and grimaces in alarm. The trailing sash binds the three sheets into a single line of tension — terror, desire and dread strung between the figures. A superb example of Kunisada at the height of his powers in the actor triptych.
