A man in a dark robe stands on a wooden porch, holding a small object in his hand. His face is painted in bold colors—white, black, and red—with a serious expression. Behind him, a wooden gate and a building with sliding doors show a simple, everyday setting. This print is part of a story about bravery, showing a character from Japanese theater. The bright colors and strong lines make the scene pop. Want to see more? Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art for this print.
