Summary

日本語: 『東海道五十三對 大津』 歌舞伎演目『傾城反魂香』の一幕「吃又」を題材とする錦絵。又平(モデルは岩佐又兵衛)が描いた大津絵の主役らが絵から抜け出して踊りだす場面を描いたもの。冒頭の「大津繪の筆のはしめは何佛」は松尾芭蕉の句。

English: The artist Matabei, featured in the upper left corner, looks down with consternation as his subjects come to life. A dancing Wisteria Maiden is surrounded by a warrior, a devil, a blind "shamisen" player, and a singer. These are all popular subjects of folk paintings produced in the town of Otsu and sold as souvenirs to travelers.

Part of the series The 53 stations of the Tokaido in pairs(or "53 Parallels for the Tōkaidō Road"), a series of woodcuts composed by Hiroshige, Kuniyoshi and Kunisada and issued around 1845 by different publishers..
