Ichikawa Danjuro in Shibaraku

Comments - Dynamic kabuki portrait of Ichikawa Danjuro as the hero in the classic play "Shibaraku" (Wait a Minute). He strikes a bold pose, lifting a heavy book above his head and glaring angrily to the side. He wears layers of colorful robes over a suit of armor, and his red stage makeup adds to his imposing appearance. An attractive design.
