Comments - Handsome kabuki portrait of Kawarazaki Mimasu as an otokodate or street knight, looking ahead with an angry frown, his brows furrowed. He wears a purple kimono patterned with blocks of writing, a blue cloth wrapped around his neck and a sword at his side. A shakuhachi flute tucked into the back of his obi can be seen at right. A fan-shaped inset above contains a verse. A nice large expressive figure set off by the deep red background.
