Comments - Dramatic kabuki scene of a yakko or footman kneeling on a rocky in the midst of whirlpools, the severed head of a beauty hanging by the hair from his mouth. He grips a sword in one hand as a ghostly flame rises from the beauty, dancing above the man's had. A striking image with a handsome natural setting.
