Comments - Handsome kabuki portrait of a samurai standing beneath a blossoming cherry tree, a small basket in his hand. He looks up with an angry frown, his brows slightly furrowed. The surface of the water undulates behind him, the red sky framed by the softly shaded flowers. A colorful design with a large expressive figure.
