Surprise Attack upon Hiyodorinoe

Two armored samurai figures, rendered with dark blue patterned armor accented in red, black, and teal, ride mounted on a cluster of stylized white horse forms with limbs splayed forward in galloping motion. One rider draws a bow with a quiver of black-and-white fletched arrows on his back while gripping a long red-shafted lance topped with a white pennant; the other brandishes a curved sword overhead, his helmet crested with sweeping black tassels and white wing-like flanges. The scene is set against a mottled gold ground, giving the composition a flattened, dynamic diagonal thrust; the print is signed "Hideo Takeda" in pencil at the lower right.
