Comments - Dramatic illustration of a battle in the mountains, with samurai fighting fiercely on foot and on horseback. At center right, a warrior tosses an enemy in the air while gripping another in a headlock under his arm. A third opponent tumbles head over heels through the air above. At bottom center, a warrior prepares to plunge his sword into an enemy lying on the edge of a cliff. A castle can be seen in the distance at upper left, while the battle continues on the shore at lower right. A lively scene filled with detail.
