Comments - Handsome kabuki portrait of Ichimura Uzaemon XII as Nagoya Sensaburo, also known as Nagoya Sanza, in the play "Mukashigatari inazuma zoshi." He eavesdrops outside a doorway, smiling as he holds his sword. He wears a blue kimono patterned with his trademark swallows in rain, with gray geometric print inserts over a red under robe with a blue collar, tied with a yellow obi. The panels behind him are beautifully detailed to simulate wood grain, with a design of a cherry or plum tree covered with white blossoms. An attractive design.

Artist - Kuniyoshi (1797 - 1861)
