Beauty with a Razor

Comments - Interesting kabuki scene of a commoner arguing with a man sitting on a spotted hide inside a house. The commoner leans forward with a frown, gesturing excitedly. The man reacts with a worried expression, his eyes wide. He wears a blue outer robe with a striking pattern of a dragon, swirling clouds, and flames over a striped kimono. At right, a woman stares over her shoulder suspiciously as she eaves drops a razor in her hand. Nicely composed and detailed.
