Description:
From the series "Rien no Hana" ("Flowers of the theater"). Bando Mitsugoro VII is in the role of the Mute in "Sannin-Katawa" ("Three Disabled Persons"). He is showing a card indicating he is "oshi" (mute) but his rolled up eyes and tightly closed lips express his determination to communicate something of importance.
