Comments - Interesting kabuki scene of a commoner drawing a sword during an argument with a samurai. He scowls angrily, biting his lower lip as he thrusts a dirk at the samurai. He frowns, resting his cased sword against his shoulder while the beauty behind him reacts with surprise. At left, a man waits outside a garden with an umbrella as snow falls heavily through the night sky. A colorful design with fine line work in the hair and burnishing on the black kimono collars.
