Comments - Contemporary Kabuki Portraits by Yamamoto Hisashi - Terrific contemporary kabuki portrait from a series done by the artist Yamamoto Hisashi around 1980. Each image presents an expressive figure drawn with bold line work, enhanced with vivid coloring and soft pink bokashi shading around the eyes. Each print comes in its original windowed viewing folder, which slips into an outer portfolio, and is numbered "A. P." (Artist's Proof) in pencil in bottom margin. A great opportunity to acquire a bold, modern kabuki portrait in the great ukiyo-e tradition, as originally issued by the publisher.
