Comments - Fantastic scene of a military exercise taking place for a group of noblemen, who sit in a pavilion atop a stone wall overlooking the courtyard below. Two groups of samurai are battling each other with wooden lances, one set wearing red vests and the other brown vests. At either side, a general directs his men, waving a tasseled command baton as the troops rush forward, clashing their weapons. At right, a retainer watches from a tall drum tower, with pine trees and mountains beyond. A fascinating subject with wonderful detail.
