Comments - Dramatic scene of samurai engaged in a swordfight as the sun rises above the castle behind them. Red rays of light radiate across the sky as the man in the center draws back his sword, ready to strike. The warrior at right wields a weapon in each hand, leaning forward with an intense expression. A great kabuki design with large expressive figures and vibrant color.
