Comments - Interesting kabuki image of actors as warriors in a battle during the Genpei War between the Taira and Minamoto clans. At right, a general sits atop a dappled horse, thrusting his fringed command baton forward. He wears a fine suit of armor over a blue print kimono and a horned battle helmet, a quiver of arrows visible at his back. Retainers stand guard around him, including a woman warrior, while two men wrestle on the ground at left. At top left, two men watch from a castle tower. Nicely detailed.
