Comments - Handsome kabuki portrait of Ichikawa Ebizo V as the evil Ki no Aritsune, grimacing angrily as he stares over his shoulder, his hand atop the hilt of his sword. He stands in a rather shabby interior with cracks in the plaster walls, a koto at his feet and blue curtains hanging in the doorway. A great expressive figure with a nicely detailed setting.
