Comments - Interesting kabuki portrait of a man hopping about on one foot, holding a bundle over his back and staring up over his shoulder with a slight frown. He wears a black robe with insets on the sleeves of the takaramono or precious things over a blue and green kimono tucked into yellow and violet striped pants. A small black court cap is tied over a blue cloth wrapped around his head. Behind him, a musician playing shamisen sits on a high platform, and a blossoming plum tree frames a glimpse of the blue sky. Nicely composed and colored.
