Comments - Handsome kabuki portrait of Bando Hikosaburo as the samurai Munesada. He sits inside of a room looking out into the courtyard, frowning angrily as he holds his sword upright with both hands. He wears a violet kimono with bands of blue and white checks and gold flowers and scrolls. At lower right, a wooden stump serves as a step, and a blossoming tree can be seen at upper left. An attractive design.
