Comments - Terrific triptych of the great Minamoto leader Yoshitsune with his nineteen loyal retainers in traveling in his ship. The warrior monk Benkei stands in the prow, keeping a lookout for enemies and holding a naginata upright, his monk's mantle wrapped about his head. White-capped waves crash against side of the ship and tassels and banners flutter in the wind. Includes a spattering of gray pigment over the waves to simulate spray. A fantastic design with wonderful detail, also in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. A great choice for a samurai enthusiast.
