Bando Mitsugoro IV as Ko no Moronao, 1835

Comments - Terrific scene from the play "Kanadehon Chushingura" of Bando Mitsugoro as the evil Lord Ko no Moronao. He sits inside a fine enclosed palanquin, scowling unhappily. A large offering tray on the ground outside is piled with rolls of fabric, and two large collapsible paper lanterns with the imperial crest on them stand ready. A handsome composition, beautifully colored and detailed.
