Comments - Interesting kabuki scene of two men waiting on a bridge. The fellow at left looks over his shoulder with a worried expression, his eyes wide. He wears a floral coat over a black kimono and gray leggings, his arms clutched nervously to his chest. His companion eyes him suspiciously, his hands tucked inside his robe. A road runs along the shore of the river below, with travelers and vendors making their way, and the spire of a pagoda and a red temple roof rise above the foliage in the distance. An attractive design with expressive figures and fine bokashi shading in the sky.
