One more building from Naritasan's omotesando with a Kabuki decoration: here it is the makeup (or kumadori/隈取) of the lead character of the play "Shibaraku" we mentioned yesterday --the three squares surrounding it are the crest of the Naritaya guild and the Ishikawa (市川) family whose repertoire this play is part of. 

(For a bigger version of these pictures both in color and black and white, check my "Japan Arekore" set on Flickr).
