He holds the tengu’s magic fan made of feathers in his right hand, and seems to run upon the wind itself. The sky, comprised of invisible winds made visible, is most creatively accomplished, the clouds visible as spiral puffs of black and grey. The edges of Rikinosuke’s cloak also give the feeling of feathers. Floating around him are unusual, palm-like leaves that echo the shape of his magic feather fan. Chikaranosuke is apparently a popular motif in irezumi (tattoo) designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003eExcellent impression and color; very good condition.
