The Shakkyo story is based on a mystical experience the Tendai priest Jakusho (d. 1034) had during a trip to China, where he went to study Buddhism. Originally performed as a Nö drama, this was one of many Nö plays adopted and transformed by the Kabuki theater. Here, actor Segawa Kikunojö (III) is depicted performing a lion dance, wearing a peony hat over a wig of long red hair. He is clothed in three kimonos—black, pink and ivory. In each hand he holds flowering peony branches. Lions and peonies are traditionally associated with this play, and thus help to identify this print. (from Daring Moves Exhibition, 8/1/06-)
