Description : This is the only print of Noh in this group of Kabuki woodblocks and is done in a "Sosaku-hanga" or creative print style identified by "drawing" straight onto the block with a chisel. Shakkyo means a stone bridge, and refers to the bridge to heaven guarded by Shishi, or mythological, lions. The mask, shishiguchi, is gilded while the wig is red and made of yaks' hair. (description by the artist, Paul Binnie).
