Comments - Handsome shini-e or memorial portrait of Ichikawa Danjuro IX, one of the most popular kabuki actors of the Meiji era. He is shown as a traveler taking a break, sitting on a rock and lifting the edge of his woven hat. He wears a light blue-green kimono patterned with lavender peonies over white leggings and wrist guards, a walking staff in hand and a white cloth wrapped about his head. Nicely detailed with soft pink shading around the eyes, and delicate cloth embossing in the leggings, wrist guards, and white cloth around the head.
