Stabbing an Enemy, 1847 - 1852 - Gory scene of a samurai stabbing his enemy in the neck with his sword, blood pouring from the fatal wound. The samurai kneels atop his opponent, a look of concentration on his face. The billowing cape on his back identifies him as a messenger or important warrior. A dramatic image depicting the realities of battle. The first time we've seen prints by this artist.
