Comments - Interesting uncut page featuring two chuban images of famous samurai. In the top scene, an elderly general with a wrinkled face sits on a folding stool observing the battle below. He wears armor over a purple robe and a horned battle helmet, and holds a tasseled command baton. The bottom design shows a warrior on horseback gripping a bow, turning to look back at a samurai encampment where a bonfire sends smoke up into the sky. Nicely detailed with fine bokashi shading and vibrant color.

Image Size - 8" x 13" + margins as shown
