Description
A half-length standing figure of a kabuki actor in a black robe patterned with gold and cream cloud roundels and red diamond-lattice motifs, a white square crest reading "八" (eight) centered on the chest. He grips a long sword with white-bound hilt raised diagonally across his body in his right hand, a second sword tucked at his waist, and turns his head to the side with a sharp, angular scowling expression against a plain mustard-yellow background. Vertical columns of black kanji inscriptions flank the figure at right and left; the print is a hosoban color woodblock print by Tōshūsai Sharaku, 1789, titled Ichikawa Yaozo lll in the Role of Fuwa no Banzaemon Shigekatsu.
