Inuzuka Shino Moritaka on the on the Horyukaku Roof - Great portrait of the Eight Dog Warrior Inuzuka Shino Moritaka during his famous fight with Kenpachi Nobumichi on the roof of Horyukaku, a tower of Koga Castle. Here, the samurai raises his sword above his head as two guards attempt to restrain him with a chain. One grabs hold of Inuzuka's elbow as he grips his iron truncheon, while his fellow guard had been knocked down on the tiles, his lantern beside him. Another lantern flies past Inuzuka's head. A terrific action scene with a great composition. The first time we've offered this Kuniyoshi design.
