坂東彦三郎 as Sarujima Sōta  猿嶋惣太

Handsome boatmen plying their vessels back and forth across Edo's Sumida River were considered cool and treated like popular idols. The print, capturing the kabuki actor Bandō Hikosaburō in the role of Sarujima Sōta, projects an image of vitality, strength and manhood.
