DescriptionA man walking down a path next to a body of water. Buildings in the background. This scene in Act IV is described as: Nightfall: Yuranosuke by the moat on the grounds of the castle after Yenya's seppuku, leaving to prepare his plans for vengeance and so carry out his dying lord's last injunctions. A very unusual treatment of this act. Tomo ye (bamboo) border.
