Comments - Dramatic kabuki portrait of Nakamura Shikan IV as a warrior on horseback, furiously raising his riding crop above his head as the animal flounders in the rising water. His lips tightly compressed in a frown, he urges his mount onwards through the flood. He wears a striking vest patterned with a dragon over a green brocade robe, a white sash tied around his forehead. A lively design, nicely detailed with embossing in the vest, white kimono collar, and white sash.
