月 の 出 坂東 彦三郎 笠原 隼太

Moon-rise: Bandō Hikosaburō V as Sasahara Hayata

1876

There is some uncertainty about the translation of the title. Keyes has given it as "Moon in the mountains", but a print below (#3) with a very similar title in kan-ji (differing only in the substitution of the character for 'sun' for that of 'moon') has been translated without the mention of mountains.
It is possible that another one of the complex visual puns is at play here; the second kanji, 出, is a double copy of the kanji for 'mountain', 山, so perhaps it can be seen as meaning 'mountains' here.
