Comments - Two large groups of samurai engage in an intense battle. The group in the foreground are firing rifles, with the bullets streaking across the battlefield providing one of the main design elements of the print. The opposing force charges forward with wooden shields. Visible through the smoke at the top of the scene, the many banners give a sense of the large numbers of warriors backing them up.
