This one is of O-Ren Ishii, Queen of the Tokyo Underworld, about to duel in a snow-covered garden.

I LOVED this scene in the movie. There was a real elegance to the way it was put to film. The camera hangs on every movement and gesture. Great use of silence.

The character O-Ren is inpired by the film, "Lady Snowblood", the only Samurai movie I know of which stars a woman.
