Comments - Interesting kabuki scene of a confrontation taking place at a tea stand. At left, a monk or priest appears worried, frowning with his eyes wide as he clutches a standard on a pole. In the center, a beauty hides behind her companion, who looks up with a slightly puzzled expression. A drawstring purse lies on the ground behind him. The fellow at right grimaces angrily, his hand clenched into a fist. An intriguing design with expressive figures and a nicely detailed setting.
