Biwa Pass at Okute: Nakamura Utaemon IV as Kagekiyo in Hyuga - Terrific kabuki portrait of Nakamura Utaemon IV as the great Heike warrior Kagekiyo in Hyuga Province. He thrusts his hands out before him clasped in prayer, with a frantic expression on his face. A string of prayer beads hangs from beneath his thumbs, and his long hair flows wildly about his face. The landscape in the background features a view of a ship sailing away on the ocean, with mountains in the distance. A great expressive figure with attractive color and fine line work in the hair.
