Kabuki actor Onoe Tamizō II (尾上多見蔵) portraying Sagisaka Bannai (鷺坂伴内), the crafty comic retainer of Kō no Moronō.
Sagisaka Bannai, the foppish and buffoonish retainer of Moronō, is shown mid-motion, dressed in a flamboyant red robe adorned with
cranes and bamboo.
This scene, from Chūshingura Act 3, captures the moment before En`ya Hangan is humiliated by Moronō, setting the stage for the vendetta.
Yoshitaki emphasises Bannai`s exaggerated posture and expression, highlighting the comic tone he brings to an otherwise solemn act.
Condition:
