Comments - Fantastic depiction of samurai tossing flaming torches at Imperial Army troops at Kagoshima during the Satsuma Rebellion. Perched on a rocky cliff at left, the rebels throw the burning torches out onto the attackers starting fires with flames that race across the battlefield. One man throws a bucket of water to no avail, while at right samurai rush headlong into the blaze to face soldiers with bayonets fixed. An incredible, dramatic image filled with action.
