Comments - Interesting kabuki scene featuring three rogues with their hair cropped short in the modern Meiji style, meeting at a boundary marker at night. The man at left shelters the light from a lantern beneath his robe, while the fellow in the center grimaces angrily at his companion, who holds a cased short sword. Nice expressive figures set against a dark sky with shadowy pine branches.
