Comments - Interesting kabuki print featuring three of Japan's famous "Six Immoral Poets." At right, the Heian era beauty Ono no Komachi smiles down at her companion, a folding fan extending from beneath her sleeve. At bottom, the courtier Ariwara no Narihira grins back at her, wearing a purple tunic with a crosshatched pattern and a court cap, a bow in one hand and a quiver of arrows behind his back. At upper left, Otomo no Kuronushi scowls angrily. His black robe features a beautiful burnished lozenge pattern. A handsome, colorful design.
