Description

A Japanese woodblock print triptych, typical of the ukiyo-e genre, depicting a dynamic battle scene. The composition features mounted and dismounted warriors, some in traditional samurai attire and others in what appear to be early Western-influenced military uniforms, set against a mountainous landscape with a prominent castle on the rightmost panel. Stylistically, it is a production from the late Edo to early Meiji period (19th century), possibly from a *musha-e* (warrior print) series. Printed on paper, each panel includes vertical red cartouches with Japanese text, and the leftmost panel displays a smaller cartouche at the bottom left, likely for a signature or publisher’s mark.
