The right screen shows the famous cherry blossom viewing spot of Ueno, where under the cherry trees people are eating, drinking, and dancing. This is a traditional theme, portrayed from the earliest era in genre painting on. In the left screen is depicted the Nakamura-za theater in Edo. Kabuki saw a rapid period of development beginning in the mid-17th century, and the size of the stage was quite large when compared to that of the original Okuni Kabuki in Kyoto. From the banner in the second panel that proclaims: "Nakamura Kenzaburo performing!" and the names of the actors appearing on a billboard advertising the play's stars, the work can be dated to around the sixth year of Genroku (1693). There is no signature, but if not painted by Hishikawa Moronobu (1618-94) himself, the screens were likely a product of his workshop.
