Comments - Interesting kabuki scene of Bando Hikosaburo as Gennosuke, washing his hands in a basin of water on the floor. He stretches out his hands as someone prepares to pour a dipper of water over them, looking up with a slightly suspicious frown. He wears a black kimono over a gray floral print robe and red under robe, his hair pulled back into a neat topknot. An intricately patterned folding screen stands at right, and the sliding panel at left is decorated with woodblock prints. A nicely detailed setting.
