Comments - Great kabuki portrait of Ichikawa Sadanji as the warrior Yashagoro, staring to the side with an angry frown as he draws his sword. He wears a fantastic kimono decorated with a fierce dragon and a burnished plaid pattern on the black areas. His shorter hair sticks up wildly atop his head, with his longer hair pulled into a low ponytail over his back. A bold design, nicely detailed with fine line work in the hair and light embossing in the white sash.
