Sharaku design of kabuki actor Bando Mitsugoro II in the role of Ishii Genzo. Carved by David Bull based on old design. Printed by hand by staff at the Mokuhankan woodblock print shop in Asakusa, Tokyo. I work at Mokuhankan. The Mokuhankan logo is embossed in one of the corners, which makes it have "property". Without that logo the print's design is long out of copyright.
