Comments - Charming kabuki portrait of Arashi Rikan as Princess Kuzunoha standing at a garden gate, tilting her head as she peers around the doorway. Her red kimono is patterned with colorful blossoms, tied with a geometric print obi. The red autumn foliage of a Japanese maple frames the scene overhead, providing an attractive contrast to the softly shaded evening sky. Includes metallic pigment that has oxidized to a dark tone on the hair ornament. A handsome design.
