Atsumori And Naozane, In The Kabuki Play Ichinotani Futaba Gunki, 1852 (Kaei 5)

Fine impressions, colour and condition; unobtrusive binding holes.
This scene of the kabuki is related to a very famous episode of the battle of Ichinotani, 1184. Kumagai no
older Minamoto warrior kills Atsumori, as a warrior’s duty, but considering that the young enemy has the
same age of his own son, Noazane feels pain in his heart and eventually he becomes a Buddhist monk.
