Kirino Toshiaki

A mustached warrior with wind-tossed gray hair and a white headband sits astride a dark brown horse, gripping its reins with a small red banner mounted behind him. He wears a red military coat with green braid trim over a dark patterned kimono and pale leggings, with a sword at his waist; a spear, a sheathed sword, and a dagger lie discarded on the green ground beneath the horse. Dense columns of Japanese text fill the cream-colored border above and beside the figure, framed by a green outer border, with the title "Kirino Toshiaki" by Kobayashi Kiyochika, 1877.
