Comments - Dramatic kabuki scene of a samurai attacking a beauty playing the koto, drawing his sword as she recoils in fright. The samurai is elegantly dressed in a green kimono tucked into blue hakama pants patterned with flowers and bird with outstretched wings. At lower left, a man tumbles forward off the platform, his legs kicking in the air. An interesting subject with expressive figures.
