Comments - Handsome depiction of Saigo Takamori and generals in a government meeting. Saigo, the future leader of the rebel samurai, sits on a chair third from the left as the man beside him leaps to his feet arguing angrily with the other officers. Nicely detailed with embossing in the white feathers on the hats and burnishing in the black uniforms. We've never come across this subject before.
