Osaka Dotonbori: First Play

Comments - Terrific scene of the Dotonobori in Osaka at the opening of the first kabuki play. Colorful banners flutter in the breeze, adding a festive air to the street. A crescent moon glows in the evening sky, and large lantern flank the entrance to the theater. A lively Tokuriki design we've never before come across. Signed "T. Tokuriki" in ink at lower right. A great modern design.
