Comments - Interesting print composed of four yotsugiri-sized kabuki portraits attached together. At upper right, a commoner looks up from the letter he is reading, a large knife in his other hand. He has a fantastic tattoo of a dragon on his upper arm. At bottom right, a rather disheveled-looking man uses a straw mat as a raincoat as a flash of lightning streaks across the night sky. Nice expressive figures.
