Comments - Interesting kabuki portrait of Iwai Kumesaburo II as the courtesan Katsuragi in the play "Oichiza Soga no Shimadai." She tumbles backwards beside a palanquin, throwing her arm out at her side with an angry frown. Her intricately patterned outer kimono features a design of thunder clouds on green bordering a blue and white plaid, worn over a red under robe with a green print along the hem. Willow branches frame the scene overhead. A nice expressive colored, beautifully colored and detailed.
