Comments - Handsome kabuki double portrait of a couple set against a dark night sky. The beauty smiles happily as she tilts her head downwards and looks sideways, her open lips revealing even white teeth. She wears a black kimono with a beautiful burnished geometric design, with bamboo leaves along the edges. Her companion eyes her suspiciously as he pushes up the sleeve of his blue kimono. Nicely detailed with soft shading in the background.
