Comments - Handsome kabuki portrait of Ichikawa Danjuro VIII as Hachimataro (Minamoto no) Yoshiie looking over his shoulder with a slight frown, his brows furrowed. He grips a naginata in one hand, dressed in a formal robe patterned with bird motifs, blossoms, and yellow vines, a yellow court cap tied under his chin with a tasseled cord. The red title cartouche at upper right is framed with paulownia, tiny gourds, and butterflies. A fine, expressive figure set against a softly shaded night sky.
