Series; Modern Parodies of Genji, 1863 - 1864
Fuji no Uraba, Chapter 33: Battle atop an Arbor, 1864 - Lively seen of a commoner fighting off two attackers atop a bamboo arbor covered with wisteria. Kneeling atop one enemy, the commoner easily tosses the other attacker flying, sending him tumbling backwards through the sky. Blue wisteria blossoms hang from the leafy green vines, and paper lanterns hang from poles on either side. Nice expressive figures in an unusual and interesting setting.
