Samurai Gathered under a Pine Tree, 1884

Comments - Handsome kabuki triptych showing a group of warriors in armor gathered under a pine tree. The general at left scans the horizon for enemies, shielding his eyes with his hand as he looks into the distance. The young warrior before him seems quite agitated, gesturing wildly with his arms. Two other samurai watch the general closely, as does a beauty at far right, her long hair flowing loosely over her shoulders. Terrific detail in the carefully drawn hair and armor, the red background providing a vibrant contrast to the figures. Includes touches of burnishing on the armor and a burnished pattern on the general's black court cap.
