Ishiyakushi: Distant View of Takatomizan: Ichikawa Omezo I as Benkei "雙筆五十三次 石薬師"

[Framed Art Poster] This is a stunning kabuki portrait of Ichikawa Omezo I as the warrior monk Benkei in the play "Benkei Joshi." In the play, Benkei is instructed by Yoritomo to bring him the head of Kyo-no-kimi, the wife of his brother Yoshitsune, as proof of loyalty. As a faithful retainer of Yoshitsune, Benkei faces a difficult task. He is depicted wearing a large black vest and pants adorned with Buddhist prayer wheels over a red kimono with a similar design. In the background, there is a view of Takatomizan mountain, surrounded by golden fields with a temple on the right and a cherry blossom tree on the left. The design is handsome and striking. This is a variant edition of the artwork, featuring a colored background. -------------------------------------------------- Make a statement in any room with this framed poster, printed on thick matte paper.
