Writing box in the form of a gourd

3 pp 3 img

The mastery of this piece lies in its design and materials. The yatate's gourd shape fits comfortably in the palm of the hand, while the top springs open to offer a retractable pen and tiny knife. The inkwell is elegantly hidden under the leaf decoration.

Soga Goro sharpens a double-tipped arrow on a large whetstone in preparation for the day when he and his brother will avenge their father's murder. The print depicts an actor in a Kabuki play. He assumes a dramatic pose, or "mie," in order to make a powerful impression on the audience. His stylized wig and make-up are associated only with characters of strength and righteousness.
