“Kabuki – Shunkyō Kagami Jishi 1910s. A Kabuki dancer as the rampaging spirit of a shishi (mythical lion), who falls asleep after sporting among the peonies, only to be awoken by two kochō (butterflies) that tease him mercilessly as he angrily tries to catch them. He works himself into a mighty rage, flinging his luxuriant mane around in a fury of movement.” Image and text via Blue Ruin 1 of Flickr -- source link
