Comments - Interesting scene of two rivals meeting unexpectedly when their paths cross in the Yoshiwara one night. The fellow at left leans back with a scowl as he lifts the edge of his hat for a better view. He wears a blue kimono with a pattern of fences on it. The ronin at right glares back at him with a frown, dressed in a kimono composed of colorful geometric print squares alternating with wide black bands featuring red and white flowers. Text runs across the top of the print. Kawarazaki Gonjuro I plays the ronin at right. Expressive figures with nice detail.
