Bunraku - Bold image of a bunraku puppet of a fierce warrior. He grimaces angrily, his red stage makeup and strangely styled hair adding to his fierce appearance. The background is detailed with metallic gold flecks, adding a subtle shimmer, and the portrait is framed by a soft gray border to suggest the brocade trim of a hanging scroll. A great expressive figure.
