Comments - Great kabuki portrait of Onoe Kikugoro as a samurai in battle, deflecting a bullet with his sword. He wears a striking red vest patterned with a winged dragon over a suit of armor, a white sash tied around his forehead. Fighting continues in the background with figures in dark silhouette against the night sky. A terrific design, beautifully detailed, with fine bokashi shading in the background.
