Colorful woodblock print depicting a battle scene. Men on horseback wearing traditional Japanese clothing and headgear ride horses in various positions, some rearing. The horses are brown or black. One horse has a white blaze on its face. Riders hold long weapons. A woman in a kimono sits on a raised platform to the left, watching. A tree with sparse foliage is to her left. A building with a tiled roof and yellow and green shutters is in the background. A man in a kimono sits on a lower platform to the right, watching. The scene appears to be set in a courtyard. The print is divided into panels. The color palette is muted, with earth tones and blue. Japanese characters are written vertically on a white banner to the right.
