Mt. Fuji Seen from Gojo Bridge: Ichikawa Danjuro VIII as Maruami Goro - Great portrait of Nakayama Bungoro as the samurai Akuemon from a series pairing kabuki actors with views of Mt. Fuji from Edo. He grimaces angrily, his face contorted with rage and his hand thrown open before him. He wears a beautiful black coat and matching kimono patterned with red and blue peonies, his enormous frame filling the page. The inset above shows a beauty and a servant walking into the wind with tissues scattering in the air with the breeze, and Mt. Fuji rising in the distance beyond grassy plains. A fine expressive figure, nicely composed and colored.
