Nobleman and Minamoto Ship, 1879 - Handsome kabuki portrait of a nobleman wearing an impressive olive green coat patterned with a phoenix with long tail feathers over a white kimono and red under robe. He looks over his shoulder with a frown, his hair pulled back into a topknot tied with purple cord. On the water behind him, an elegant ship bearing the Minamoto paulownia crest can be seen, a red standard fluttering in the wind above. A text panel above takes the form of an open scroll. An attractive, colorful design, beautifully detailed with embossing on the white kimono.
