Comments - Interesting kabuki scene of Ichikawa Danjuro as a crazed monk staring up at a beauty, rubbing his head in a puzzled manner. He kneels on the ground carrying a tattered straw hat, wearing a black monk's robe over a brown kimono, his hair short as if growing out. The woman smiles back at him, holding a dotted towel in her hand as she makes her way around the fenced yard of a building. The left portion of the fence is made from straw matting tied to a bamboo framed. An intriguing image with expressive figures and a nicely detailed setting.
