Comments - Handsome kabuki scene showing a boatman angrily lifting his hat above his head, grimacing at a young man who turns away in fright, cowering behind his sleeve. The boatman wears a tie-dyed cropped shirt and matching leggings, and a red tie-dyed loincloth. The fellow has a folded up straw raincoat tucked beneath his arm. The beauty at right tilts her head with a coy expression, the edge of her scarf caught between her teeth. A flock of birds soars through the night sky above them. A striking design with expressive figures.
