Warriors and Setting Sun

Comments - Great kabuki scene of two warriors facing off on a beach as rays of light radiate from a deep red setting sun. The fellow at left grips a naginata, his other hand thrown out at his side, frowning as he looks up. The samurai at right appears worried as he reaches for his own weapon. Undulating waves roll across the shore behind them, with the sails of ships returning home for the evening dotting the horizon. A striking image.
