Nakamura Shikan as Wada Masayuki

Comments - Handsome kabuki portrait of Nakamura Shikan as the samurai Wada Masayuki, a retainer of the great daimyo Uesugi Kenshin. He stares over his shoulder with a tightlipped frown, clutching a fan in one hand. He wears a red vest over a suit of armor, a white sash tied around his forehead, his hair rather disheveled. A white cloth panel stretches across the background against a red sky. A colorful design with an expressive figure.
