Description

A Japanese Ukiyo-e style woodblock print triptych, likely dating to the late Edo or early Meiji period. Comprising three vertically oriented panels joined to form a continuous image, it depicts a dynamic and violent battle scene with numerous figures, horses, and a mix of traditional and modern weaponry, alongside a prominent “Rising Sun” flag. The print is rendered on paper with colored inks and features significant Japanese text in vertical columns within a red cartouche on the far right panel and a yellow cartouche on the far left, along with smaller red seals.
