Comments - Interesting kabuki scene of a beauty stepping on the sword of a man trying to attack her. He scowls angrily as he tries to free the weapon while she looks over her shoulder with a happily smile, seemingly unconcerned. Her green print obi is wrapped loosely around her waist, with a sword tucked at her side, and a comb is slipping loose from her hair, giving her a slightly disheveled appearance. Foliage fills the background beneath the softly shaded night sky. Nice expressive figures.
