Comments - Handsome kabuki portrait of Sawamura Tanosuke III as a beauty on a moonlit night in the countryside. She smiles as she looks back over her shoulder, the edge of her scarf caught between her teeth. She wears a softly shaded kimono bordered with ducks and cherry blossoms, tied with a stripe obi and a red tie-dyed sash. She carries an umbrella, and has a roll of tissues tucked into her obi. A cuckoo flies across the night sky in front of a glowing full moon. An attractive design, nicely colored with fine bokashi shading in the background.
