The Actors Matsumoto Koshiro V as Akahori Mizuemon and Iwai Kumesaburo as the Geisha Omatsu 五代目松本幸四郎の赤堀水右衛門 二代目岩井粂三郎の芸者おまつまつもとこうしろうのあかほりみずえもん いわいくめさぶろうのげいしゃおまつ
Description
歌舞伎の演目「霊験亀山鉾」の一場面。同演目は、元禄14年（1701）に伊勢亀山で石井半蔵・源蔵の兄弟が父の敵である赤堀水右衛門を28年ぶりに仇討ちした実話を元に制作され、「元禄曾我」ともいわれた。悪役を演じる5代目松本幸四郎は、鼻が高く目つきが鋭いことから「鼻高幸四郎」とも呼ばれ、「三都随一の実悪（歌舞伎の中でも主役に匹敵する悪人の役）」と謳われた。豊国はその特徴までも見事に捉えている。
