Comments - Interesting kabuki scene of a frightened beauty cowering behind her sleeve, prevented from walking away by the pipe held down on the hem of her robe by a seated samurai. He looks up with an angry frown, his other head resting atop a black lacquer armrest. Panels lining the back of the room are decorated with peony blossoms, with a rolled up blind above. Nice expressive figures.
