Comments - Handsome kabuki portrait of Ichikawa Danjuro VIII as Natsume Shirasaburo, kneeling just inside a doorway. He tilts his head as he listens, holding his hand out as if motioning for someone to wait. A lantern on a bamboo pole swings above his head, and the doorway curtains at upper right feature delicately embossed blossoms. Nice detail in the interior setting.
