Comments - Interesting kabuki portrait of Kawarazaki Gonjuro as the monk Ishikawa Tomoichi standing outside a doorway, frowning angrily. He holds a portable gong in one hand and a hammer in the other, dressed in a voluminous gray robe with a hood covering his head. Nice shading across the top of the night sky.
