The Spirit of Akugenta Yoshihira Strikes Nanba Jirō during Kiyomori’s Visit to Nunobiki Waterfall
A samurai with red hair and armor flies through the air, coming out of a waterfall. He wears a helmet and has his right arm outstretched. His left arm is tucked against his body and holds a sword. Two long beams of light extend from his outstretched hand. He wears full plate armor with a large chest plate and shoulder guards. In the background, there are dark clouds and two vertical red banners with Japanese writing. The waterfall is depicted in shades of blue and brown. The artist's signature is in the bottom-left corner.
