This beautifully printed work has mica along the top and the actor’s kimono is carefully decorated with a mythical dragon\/turtle creature amidst splashing waves. The upper half of the kimono features the creature’s long, flowing tail. The dragon turtle is a combination of two of the four celestial animals of Chinese mythology, and its symbolic energies include courage and determination.
