Fierce Battle with Dying Warriors

Comments - Dramatic battle scene of three dying samurai caught in a hail of arrows flying across the night sky. The face of each samurai is shaded blue, a sign of his impending death. The fellow at left fights valiantly despite his mortal wounds, fiercely gripping his sword above his head. The samurai in the center lunges forward with his spear, while the warrior at right leans heavily on his weapon, his armor tattered and blood flowing from his head. An incredible image with terrific detail.
