Description
A mounted military officer in a dark uniform with gold epaulettes and a plumed bicorne hat rears back on a pale horse, sword raised, above a chaotic melee of soldiers wielding spears and swords, one falling forward in a white robe with a red sash. Red flags bearing a white cross-in-circle emblem fly above the group, and a rainbow-bordered text panel with a red title cartouche occupies the upper portion against a dark indigo sky. Woodblock print by Toyohara Chikanobu, titled Kagoshima boto tsuito ki; date unknown.
