Comments - Great kabuki scene of a samurai sending an opponent flying, tumbling head over heels through the air. The warrior rests on one knee, his sword high above his head as he watches his enemy with a tight-lipped frown. His outer kimono is pushed down to the waist, revealing a tie-dyed kimono with the sleeves tied back with rope. Iris blossom along the edge of the water behind them, with what appears to be the arch of a stone bridge framing the night sky beyond. An intriguing image.
