Comments - Interesting kabuki scene of a couple in a courtyard beneath a blossoming plum tree. The man sitting on the bench at left seems worried as he looks over his shoulder, a fan in one hand and the other curled into a fist. The matron smiles at him with a strange expression, fanning herself and leaning against a wooden post. She wears a brown striped kimono trimmed with a blue floral print, tied with a black obi. From left, the actors are Kataoka Nizaemon VIII and Ichikawa Dannosuke V as the wife of Tozaemon. Nice expressive figures.
