Design

Oguri stands with a hawk perched on his arm; a poem by the actor Rikan, sealed with a tachibana (mandarin orange) mon, the crest of the Arashi lineage of actors, and enclosing the character for ren (here, a term for poetry circle); one of the very few known deluxe designs signed by Nobukatsu; Provenance: Okada Collection.
