Another faux-japanese ink drawing. This time of a fox actor. I felt the fox suited this role for several reasons: Actor prints were very popular subject matter, and the feminine nature of the fox in legends meshes well with male actors, who played both male and female roles in all plays. Interesting fact; while researching the style, I came across a 17th century "Furry" print called "The Foxes wedding procession". Very cool. =)
