Comments - Interesting kabuki depiction of a visitor in a plaid kimono standing at a garden gate, hunching forward with a frown, his feet spread firmly apart in wooden geta sandals. A young man kneels respectfully at left, holding out the purse attached to a cord around his neck, looking up at the man with a pleading expression. The beauty beside him looks down with an infatuated smile, pressing her sleeve to her chest. A blossoming cherry tree frames the scene overhead. Great expressive figures in an attractive setting.
