Men with Sumo Puppets - Intriguing kabuki scene of two men holding bunraku puppets of sumo wrestlers, with a nobleman between them holding a referee's fan and a length of red cord between his hands. He wears a striking blue peacock feather print coat over a blue kimono patterned with peonies. The panels lining the back of the room depict a view of Mt. Fuji above the banners and standards of a samurai encampment. A fascinating subject with wonderful detail.
