Comments - Fantastic kabuki portrait of Nakamura Shikan as the thief Nango Rikimaru wearing a leopard skin. Only his hands and face are visible beneath the skin, and he grips a stalk of bamboo, the leaves framing the night sky above. A terrific bold design with an unusual subject. The first time we've offered this incredible subject.
