Dainagon Kinto, Poet No. 55 - Terrific portrait of the legendary warrior Minamoto no Yorimitsu, known as Raiko, performing a dance. He waves one arm gracefully, holding a fan in the other as he slowly steps forward. He wears an intricately patterned red and blue kimono tucked into voluminous yellow hakama pants. A black lacquer stool patterned with the paulownia mon or crest of the Minamoto family stands behind him. An interesting image of this famous samurai.
