Thirty-six Selected Actors and Storytellers - Terrific kabuki print from a series featuring lively portraits of actors in character. These expressive figures are captured in quiet moments or in actions scenes, and rendered in vibrant color. Many images feature deluxe treatments such as embossing. The background is diagonally divided with a red tie-dyed textile pattern at the top and plants and trees in gray silhouette against a white ground below, adding graphic interest. A nice bold design from a rarely seen artist.
