Comments - Handsome kabuki portrait of an otokodate or street knight out for a stroll, carrying a brown Western-style umbrella over his shoulder. He wears a striking kimono with a bold design of a shrieking green demon clutching a huge sack over its shoulder as jagged bolts of red lightening flash across the dark night sky. The fellow looks ahead with an angry scowl, his hair is cropped short in the modern Meiji style. A nice image set off by the vibrant red background.
