Comments - Terrific five-panel design featuring five otokodate or street knights, dressed in matching robes. Each wears a gray kimono featuring yellow insets near the bottom with a black bamboo pattern over a red under robe, tied with a yellow striped obi. Each is armed with a single sword, and has a shakuhachi flute tucked in the back of his obi that could be used as a weapon if necessary. A bold bright blue and sky blue checked background with different motifs provides a dramatic graphic backdrop for the portraits. A great design we've never before seen.
