Comments - Great kabuki portrait of the otokodate or street knight Gokuin Sen'emon, one of the famous five chivalrous men (gonin otoko), sitting on a bench smoking a pipe. He looks to the side with a worried frown as he leans back on one hand, a sword at his side and a shakuhachi flute visible above his back. Curtains shaded from violet to white to red and decorated with slips of writing form a border across the top. A beautiful clean crisp print with fine bokashi shading.
