Segawa Kikunojo III (1751-1810) was the most popular player of female roles of his day. The print is considered one of Sharaku's most celebrated portraits. Suzuki comments that here Sharaku is able to capture the grace and femininity that Kikunojo expressed in his performances and adds that "the print is a masterpiece to be numbered among the best of Sharaku's half-length portraits of onnagata."
