Comments - Great kabuki portrait of Ichikawa Ichizo as the Genji general Shoji Shigetada, looking to the side with a worried frown as he holds a fan upright between his hands. He wears an intricately patterned vest over a blue kimono with a geometric pattern in the center, the Genji paulownia crest appear on his shoulders and sleeves. His hair is neatly pulled back into a topknot tied with a white cord. A nice large expressive figure, set off by the deep blue shaded background.
