Comments - Dramatic scene of the ghosts of Taira Tomomori's fallen warriors rising up out of the sea to sink Yoshitsune Minamoto's ship as he crosses the sea at Daimotsu Bay. At bottom, the ghastly spirits emerge from the raging water with weapons drawn, bobbing along the crests of the waves. They have blue faces, some leering with open mouths and flowing hair. Above, Yoshitsune's men scowl as they peer over the side of the boat, their banners and pennants blowing in the wind. A great image from this famous tale.
