Courtesy of MyJapaneseHanga.com

Note:  While not dated, this work is similar in style to Takashimaya
Department Store brochures designed by Kitano Tsunetomi and
Shima Seien, among other artists, in 1935.  The owner of the print
says that the dancer on the left may be portraying the legendary
Izumo no Okuni (出雲の阿国), the woman who founded kabuki
in the early 17th century, and that the figure on her right is her
attendant.
