Kabuki print 1

This kabuki print shows two figures against a flat grey background: a large, wild-maned figure with a red-toned, boldly painted face set in a fierce scowl, dressed in a dark indigo robe patterned with large teal spiral medallions edged in orange over a white patterned underrobe and a voluminous white lower garment, gripping a sword hilt with one hand and raising a white fan-like or whisk-like object in the other, with a long pale tail or fur trailing behind him. In front of him kneels a calmer, pale-faced young figure with black hair, wearing a red and teal robe patterned with small blue flowers and holding two folded fans. Two vertical text cartouches, one pink and one cream, bearing Japanese characters and a red seal, sit in the upper corners; the piece is titled "Kabuki print 1" by Torii Kotondo, a woodblock print of unknown date.
