Comments - Interesting kabuki scene of a swordfight taking place on a verandah. The fellow in the foreground has fallen back on one knee, but he still manages to clash blades with his younger foe, who looks to the side with a worried expression. Blossoming cherry trees frame a view of the night sky beyond the pair. Nice detail in the setting with cloud motifs on the wooden panels of the railing.
