Comments - Handsome kabuki portrait of Ichikawa Danjuro VIII as Yosaburo, eavesdropping outside a garden gate. He leans to the side, cupping his hand behind his ear as he listens, a worried frown on his face. He wears a striped kimono over a red under robe, and chunky wooden geta sandals. Behind him, a blossoming cherry tree frames the night sky. An attractive design with fine bokashi shading in the background.

Artist - Toyokuni III/Kunisada (1786 - 1864)
