Description:
Robbery scene at nightfall in the mountains on the hill road between Kyoto & the village of Yamazaki during a heavy rainstorm. (Note: only copies of very early impressions are printed with the rain block - as the AGGV example - such copies are very uncommon) Yoichibei pleads for mercy while Sadakuro snatches at his purse, hung from his neck by a cord.
