Comments - Interesting kabuki scene of a nobleman and a yakko or footman next to a royal carriage. The servant rests on one knee with a pair of sandals in his hand, looking up with a worried frown. At right, the nobleman stares back at him, ready to draw his sword. The elegant carriage features black lacquer wheels with a floral design, and red cloth privacy panels patterned with dragons. A handsome design, nicely detailed.
