Comments - Handsome kabuki portrait of a man on the verandah of a temple or shrine, looking up with a worried expression, one sleeve held to his chest. He wears a light blue kimono over a red under robe and a suit of armor, his short hair sticking up wildly atop his head with the longer locks in a knot at the side. The carved and painted door of the shrine can be seen at right, with a railing that overlooks blossoming cherry trees and a view of the water. A nice large expressive figure, with fine line work in the hair and embossing on the cherry blossoms.
