Comments - Handsome kabuki scene of three men meeting at the foot of a bridge. At left, a traveler stands beside a horse laden with small wooden chests. He frowns angrily as he looks up at the young samurai in the center, who stares back at him solemnly. The samurai wears a black kimono with a beautiful burnished geometric pattern, his hand resting atop the hilt of one of his swords. At right, a village headman leans forward anxiously with a grim frown. From left, the actors are Ichikawa Yaozo VII, Ichimura Uzaemon XV, and Onoe Matsusuke IV. An interesting design with large figures, detailed with fine line work in the hair and soft pink shading around the eyes.
