Comments - Interesting kabuki scene of Nakamura Shikan IV as the wealthy samurai Teranishi Kanshin paying a visit. He stands at right wearing an eerie matching coat and kimono patterned with skulls, ribcages, and grasses. He frowns angrily, his hand atop the hilt of his sword, as he glares at the man kneeling in the center. His companion grimaces with rage, his arms firmly folded across his chest, a white cloth draped over his shoulders. Outside the door, another samurai eavesdrops on their conversation, tilting his head as he listens. Nice expressive figures with a handsomely detailed setting.
