Comments - Interesting kabuki scene of a startled commoner scrambling backwards, his hand flung out before him in a defensive gesture. At right, smoke billows from a brazier in the floor, drifting out across the winter landscape as snow falls steadily against the gray sky. The actor is Onoe Kikugoro V. A nice large expressive figure with a handsomely detailed setting.
