Comments - Handsome kabuki portrait of a man eavesdropping next to a door. He tilts his head to the side with a frown as he listens, one hand resting atop the hilt of his sword. He wears a dark blue kimono patterned with stylized butterflies made from blossoms over a red under robe, a blue towel wrapped about his neck. With this other hand he lifts the hem of his kimono, which is lined with green fabric. A nicely detailed subject.
