Wada: Wada Hyoe, 1852 - Dramatic image of the warrior Wada no Hyoe Hidemori entering Moritsuna's camp and facing the guns of four enemies. He wears formal court dress with a black kimono tucked into a blue and black brocade kamishimo, his long pants trailing beneath his feet. He glares angrily as he looks to the side, stretching out the edges of his vest with his hands. The inset at upper left shows a peaceful village at the end of rice fields, surrounded by mountains. A bold portrait, nicely composed and detailed.
