Description :
This is a privately printed work to commemorate a musical performance in the third month on Bunsei 13 (which began March 24, 1830) by pupils and friends of Yoshimura Isaburo to celebrate his fiftieth birthday. The names of everyone who participated in the performance in various capacities are recorded on the print. The subject, famous in Japanese literature and drama, celebrates the love affair of the exiled nobleman Yukihira and the two sisters Matsukaze and Murasame. This print shows Matsukaze standing on the beach at Suma beside the pine tree on which Yukihira's coat is hanging. She awaits in vain the return of her faithless lover.
