Rooftop Battle - Striking image of a samurai fighting off an attacker on the roof of a shrine. He brandishes a sword in one hand as he kneels on the tiles, his other hand flung out at his side. A traditional roof ornament called a shachihoko, a fierce creature with the head of a tiger and the body of a carp, can be seen behind him. A bold design with a dramatic composition.
