Thank you for your interest. We believe it was produced in the 1880s. The Kabuki play is called “Saruwaka Sangorina Uta-Ya” (The Three Birds of a Feather). It is about Minamoto no Yoshitsune and his vassals, but I could not find the detailed story. The size of each piece is 35 cm in length and 25 cm in width.
