Comments - Impressive scene from the Satsuma Rebellion of leader Saigo Takamori and several generals gathered on a hilltop, surveying a battle between the rebels and the Imperial Army in the valley below. He watches the fighting from astride a brown horse, dressed in a black military uniform and plumed cap, a few wounded men lying on the ground around him. At far left, a man in a black uniform with gold epaulets looks back at him. The battlefield is packed with men in close combat, a sea of spears and guns poking up across the background. An intriguing format, nicely detailed with vibrant color and burnishing in the black uniform and horses. Shimazu Clan of Satsuma. A striking illustration filled with vibrant color and detailed with burnishing in the black uniform and horses.
