Original Kunisada II (1823 - 1880) Japanese Woodblock Print
Assaulting a Commoner

Comments - Dramatic kabuki scene of a rogue assaulting a commoner, surprised by the arrival of a young man. The attacker looks up with an angry grimace as he grabs his victim by the collar, the hapless commoner struggling to free himself. The fellow at right hesitates as he reaches for his sword, unsure of what to do. He stares at the rogue with worried, almost frightened expression. Great interaction between these expressive figures.
