- Description
- This Kabuki Theater Poster features 3 actors: Two playing women, and one a man. The man is in the second panel holding an elaborate sword that exits the print at the bottom of the page. He is coyly looking into the third panel where his gaze finds a coyly looking woman: Her body faces right (away from the man) but her head subtly turns to the left. A third actor is in the first panel. This woman looks into the second panel at the man she is dressed much more simply than the other two. The background is a dark solid blue, and the entire print is framed by a black and gold border.
