Comments - Great kabuki portrait of Nakamura Utaemon IV as the ronin Honjo Tsunagoro in the play "Kotoba no hana momiji no Yozakari." He looks to the side with a worried frown, his arms folded behind his back. He wears a kimono patterned with the mast and ropes of a boat against blue water over a bold red and white print under robe, a white cloth tied around his neck. Lanterns on poles behind him feature different scenes, including a man with a sword in hand and a message in his mouth. A striking design.
