Samurai Saito Uheenotayu Tatsuoki by Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797 - 1861), master of ukiyo-e style of Japanese woodblock prints. The samurai seems to be successfully warding off enemy arrows with his sword, but the helmet and armor on the ground beside him indicate that the warrior knew the end was near. In a hopeless situation with his troops outmanned, Saito Tatsuoki removed his armor and committed suicide.
