Comments - Dramatic night scene of two samurai involved in a heated argument beside a roaring bonfire. The men are just about to come to blows, as the wild-haired warrior at right draws his sword with a tight-lipped grimace. He wears a black kimono with a beautiful burnished geometric pattern over a red under robe, his shorter hair sticking up atop his head. The fellow at left leans forward, holding his cases sword out before him, scowling angrily. Red flames flicker between them, sending a cloud of smoke drifting across the night sky. A terrific design with large, well-detailed figures and a dusting of mica across the top of the sky.
