Description
This scene is from Act 2 of the play 'Sugawara and the Secrets of Calligraphy'. Sugawara is shown descending the stairs to meet the awaiting palanquin. This may be the false escort arranged by Shihei to trap Sugawara. In the background, Taro and Hyoe, Shihei's minions, are shown disposing of the body of Taro's murdered wife. Tatsuta is killed by her husband, Taro, when he realises she has overheard the plot to capture Sugawara.
