Sanjo Kantaro II in the Role of Urashima Taro, early 1700s

Kaigetsud? Ando

Sanjo Kantaro II in the Role of Urashima Taro, early 1700s. Sanjo Kantaro II was a kabuki actor who specialized in playing youths (wakashu) and female roles (onnagata). He is shown here in the role of Urashima Taro. He rescues a tortoise, and as a reward, the tortoise carries him to the undersea palace of the Dragon King. He believes he has spent but three days there with the Dragon King's daughter; however, when he returns to the shore, he finds 300 years have passed. The actor holds a fishing pole, indicating his occupation as a fisherman. The upper portion of the painting contains a 31-syllable waka poem.
