Comments - Handsome kabuki portrait of a samurai standing in a warehouse with large straw-wrapped bales scattered about the floor. He wears a boldly patterned blue and white kimono tucked up at the waist over a red loincloth trimmed with fringe. He grimaces as he stares over his shoulder, his hands tucked behind him. His hair is pulled back into a topknot with hair in the front tied into a bushy ponytail that sticks up. An interesting, expressive figure with fine shading in the background.
