Minamoto Yoshitsune and His Retainer, the Monk Benkei, Putting to Flight the Ghost of Taira no Tomomori
A Japanese woodblock print depicting a dramatic scene. A man in traditional samurai armor, with a short black hairstyle and bangs, rides on the bow of a boat. He wears a brown and gold helmet with a short nose guard and holds a long sword. Behind him, another man in traditional clothing with a pale complexion and black hair on the sides of his head appears to fly through the air with a bow and quiver on his back. A third figure, a man with a shaved head wearing a gray robe, sits low in the boat holding a long pole. The boat rides turbulent waters with large waves. The background is dark with heavy rain falling diagonally.
