Comments - Bold kabuki triptych depicting an angry warrior glaring at a beauty. He clutches a flute wrapped in a brocade cloth, dressed in a red kimono patterned with dragons over a suit of armor. His red stage makeup and wild hair add to his imposing appearance. The beauty tilts her head coyly, grinning at the samurai, seemingly unconcerned. Her hair is pulled into a long ponytail tied with red ribbon, trailing over the back of her blue kimono. The green background features large crests, framed by a blue border. A great composition with large figures and real graphic appeal.
