Shooting an Arrow

Comments - Unusual scene of a young man on a verandah, ready to fire an arrow at a bird perched in a nearby willow tree. One sleeve of his kimono is pushed down to the waist for ease of movement as he draws back the bow string. A beauty and a young girl lean over the verandah railing, watching with interest. An intriguing subject, rarely seen in reprint.
