Comments - Handsome kabuki portrait of Bando Hikosaburo as the samurai Shimizu Yoshitaka, grabbing hold of a bow that is thrust at him by an enemy. He wears a striking kimono patterned with a spider web and an enormous spider over the shoulders, and trimmed with fringe. His short hair sticks up atop his head, with longer locks pulled into low ponytail over his back. An interesting design.
