Postcard from Japan!

Today I received a nice postcard from Japan! The postcard shows the painting entitled "Actor Ichikawa Ebizō as Takemura Sadanoshin." It was made by the artist Tōshusai Sharaku, a ukiyo-e painter famous for his depictions of kabuki actors and sumo wrestlers. He is considered one of the greatest ukiyo-e painters. However, his career lasted only ten months after his work met some disapproval. The card was sent by my dad who was on vacation in Japan. Thanks dad!
