Comments - Fantastic scene showing the warrior Onoe Kikugoro V as Shinohara Kunimoto in battle at a shrine. At left, he thrusts his spear at an enemy riding by on horseback, who raises his sword behind his head, ready to strike. Kunimoto wears a fantastic flowing red wig and a dramatic black jacket and shirt with gold buttons. Bullets streak across the sky as two other samurai fight at right, one using his gun as a club. A handsome design with large dramatic figures and vibrant color.
