Samurai Haigo Gozaemon Hisamitsu
Samurai Haigo Gozaemon Hisamitsu by Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797 - 1861), master of ukiyo-e style of Japanese woodblock prints. This is one of the two prints in this series which Kuniyoshi depicted a samurai on horseback. Wounded and spattered with blood, his standard destroyed, the samurai aims his spear at the unseen enemy and urges his horse on, away from the viewer.
