Comments - Handsome Osaka kabuki triptych depicting three samurai. The warrior at left holds a flower-shaped mirror in his outstretched hand, looking over his shoulder at his companions with sober expression. The man in the center wears a boldly patterned vest over a red kimono and pants and a suit of armor, a naginata in hand. The samurai at right has a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other.

A great design with vibrant color, nicely detailed with burnishing in the black kimono, the black shoes, and the black fur chaps.
