Comments - Interesting portrait of the great warrior Kato Kiyomasa while in Korea during the Seven-Year War. The samurai stands along the bank of a rushing river, gripping a pole arm as he lunges ahead. He wears a fine suit of armor over a violet kimono tucked into yellow print pants, his tall helmet covered with silver mica, a nice touch. A clump of bamboo fills the background. A handsome design, detailed with burnishing in the armor.
