Comment - Kabuki print featuring an actor as a Yakko ("yakko-dako", "奴凧") or man kite in five different poses. The top two figures fly through the air, one with his kimono sleeves spread out like wings and the other covering his face. Each wears the distinctive clothing of a yakko or low ranking servant, a black kimono with a diamond crest on the shoulders and sleeves.
