Iwami Jutaro Fighting off Attackers, 1872

Comments - Fantastic scene of the young warrior Iwami Jutaro in the center fighting off attackers, wielding a sword in each hand and sending enemies tumbling head over heels to the ground around him. A samurai at lower left thrusts a spear at him, which strikes him on the shoulder while at lower right, another foe lunges forward with his spear, his helmet topped with a red wig. Fighting continues all around, and white sails can be seen far off in the distance at top. A lively scene with expressive figures and vibrant color.
