Description

A woodblock print triptych by Ogata Gekko showing a dynamic battle scene: mounted warriors in armor clash amid rearing horses, with one rider on the right wielding a weapon while another figure appears unseated or falling near the center-left. The composition is rendered mostly in outline and light washes of red-orange, grey, and black against a bare paper ground, giving the scene an unfinished, sketch-like quality. A vertical cartouche with a red seal appears in the upper right panel.
