This painting shows a woman defending herself against the civic guard. She's surrounded by guards, some of whom are falling. You can see the drama in their poses. The scene is from a play, and it's interesting because it gives us a glimpse into Japanese theater. To learn more about similar prints, check out the work at the museum: Victoria and Albert Museum.
