Comments - Fantastic kabuki portrait of an actor offstage, holding and pipe and surrounded by a variety of wigs and hats for different roles. The assortment includes two women's hairstyles, a Chinese or Korean cap with two feathers, and a commoner's topknot with a dotted sash tied around the forehead. A fascinating subject we've never before come across. A fun and unusual subject.
