Comments - Great kabuki scene of Ichikawa Ichizo III as a yakko-dako or man kite. The yakko-dako wears a kimono with a striped collar and a diamond crest on the shoulders, the distinctive clothing of a yakko, a footman or low ranking servant. He hangs in the air, his sleeves extended like wings, looking down with a frown as geese fly past below. An intriguing image, nicely detailed.
