Kanadehon chushingura
(Japan and Korea )
The evil Moronao continues to insult Lord Enya Hangan. "Supposing I meant what I said, what would you do about it?"
"Just this," cries Hangan, slashing Moronao between the eyebrows with his sword.
A retainer rushes in, grabbing Hangan from behind and restraining him.
