A print with a Japanese title that translates as a scene depicting rebels at the Kawajiri headquarters during what appears to be the Satsuma Rebellion of 1877 — the final major armed uprising against the Meiji government, led by the legendary Saigo Takamori. Kyosai was among the artists who documented the rebellion as it unfolded, bringing to his news-print images the same combination of energy and dark wit that characterized his supernatural works. The rebellion's defeat effectively ended the era of samurai resistance to modernization.
