Comments - Handsome kabuki portrait of Nakamura Fukusuke I as the priest Kisen, who meets a beautiful teashop waitress while visiting a temple. He leans forward with a grin, gripping the bamboo handle of a large umbrella trimmed with a tie-dyed ruffle. He wears a black priest's robe over a white embossed kimono shaded in yellow, a pink cloth wrapped about his head. A young boy dances about in front of him, hopping on one foot and waving a fan. An interesting design.
