Comments - Dramatic kabuki scene of a captive beauty bound with a rope and suspended over a well. At lower right, a retainer struggles to hold her weight, grimacing as he grips the rope. Water streams from the beauty's kimono, her black hair flowing down over her shoulders. An unusual subject with fine bokashi shading in the night sky.
