Comments - Interesting kabuki portrait of an angry beauty leaning forward anxiously. She looks up out of the corners of her eyes, an unhappy grimace on her face. She wears a pale blue outer kimono with inserts of fabric with writing on them over a red under robe. Her hair is pulled back into a smooth knot, adorned with a decorative comb and tied with yarn. A nice expressive figure, detailed with fine line work in the hair and embossing in the blue collar of the red under robe, plus burnishing in the black collar. A handsome composition.
