Comments - Interesting kabuki scene showing Kisen Hoshi, one of Japan's Six Immortal Poets, grinning and dancing about, holding his sleeve high. He wears a white kimono shaded in yellow, and has a red cloth wrapped around his head. The beauty Okiku smiles up at him, her own sleeve extended at her side. From left, the actors are Nakamura Shikan IV and Onoe Kikugoro V. Nicely detailed with an embossed geometric pattern in the white kimono. An intriguing subject.
