Comments - Charming kabuki scene of a couple sharing under umbrella under a driving rain. The beauty grins happily over her shoulder as she wrings water from her soaking blue kimono. Her companion stares back at her with a slight frown as he shelters her with the umbrella, holding his sandals in his hand as raindrops slant across the gray sky. Nicely composed.
