Comments - Terrific original kakemono or vertical diptych by Yoshitoshi of a young dandy holding a purple iris blossom and several green leaves. The youth smiles happily as he looks over his shoulder, his hair pulled into a sleek topknot. He wears a colorful blue kimono, the long sleeves trimmed with a clematis flower print, tucked into hakama pants. The light green pants feature a design of large, daisy-like blossoms, intricately detailed with veining on the petals. A single sword is tucked at his side, and he wears white tabi socks and zori sandals. A wonderful Edo era subject from early in Yoshitoshi's career.
