Series; The New Biography of Toyotomi Hideyoshi

Sword Fight, 1884 - Fantastic scene of two wild-haired warriors engaged in a fierce sword fight in the countryside. The fellow at left lunges forward, gripping his sword with both hands. His black robe features a beautiful burnished geometric pattern. The man at right grimaces as he raises his weapon above his head, his blue kimono pushed down to the waist. His robe also has a terrific burnished design. At right, a samurai peers around the edge of a pine tree, frowning as he watches the battle. A great design with wonderful detail and a handsome natural setting.
