Comments - Handsome kabuki scene of a samurai cradling a child or an object wrapped in red cloth to his chest. He leans forward slightly with his feet spread apart, his brows furrowed and a tight-lipped frown on his face. He wears a striking black kamishimo patterned with dragons and clouds, the pants bordered with stylized waves. The corner of a shabby building with a large hole in the plaster can be seen at upper right, with a blossoming plum tree beyond. An interesting subject.
