Comments - Dramatic depiction of the Battle of Tsukushi in 1333 from the epic "Taiheiki." At right, a warrior on the top of a ship flings an enemy over his head with a single hand, grimacing angrily. Another attacker tumbles backwards below, while at left, a samurai climbs a heavy rope to board an enemy ship. Several boats are already on fire, with orange flames and embers, and gray smoke drifting across the star-dotted night sky. At top center, several men leap into the sea as the mast of the ship collapses, engulfed in flames. An incredible image with fantastic detail and beautiful bokashi shading. A great design, rarely seen.
