Comments - Handsome kabuki portrait of Ichimura Kakitsu IV as Washi no Chokichi, grinning happily as he looks over his shoulder, a white cloth in his hand. He wears a blue and navy striped kimono over a black undergarment, a tan and blue violet striped robe draped over his shoulder. A few cherry blossom petals fall through the night sky. Nicely detailed with fine line work in the hair and bokashi shading and strong wood grain impression in the background.
