Yamanaka Shikanosuke Yukimori standing in prayer

A samurai in richly patterned lamellar armor with a red cross-shaped surcoat stands on a shoreline, head bowed and hands pressed together in prayer, a spear slung over one shoulder and a long sword at his hip. Behind him a full moon glows above dark, jagged mountains and pale rippling waves, while a second, kneeling figure in black armor looks up at him from the lower right. The palette is muted—grays, browns, and soft blue-greens—set against cream borders with a title cartouche in the upper right; the print is a mokuhanga (Japanese woodblock print) by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi titled "Yamanaka Shikanosuke Yukimori standing in prayer."
