Yeah, interesting outfit and makeup. What's the subject of the play, and any story info?


Thanks,

I don't know, I don't know even the title of the play, once I can't read Kanji much well and once it's not a Kabuki play. But looks like Ebizo plays a prince of the sea, a kind of Neptune ...

Yeah, with the white cape on the shiny obsidian black outfit, he almost looks like a comic book hero. Like one of the X-men. He even has that tough-guy stare too. Interesting.
