Samurai Isono Tanba-no kami Kazumasa by Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797 - 1861), master of ukiyo-e style of Japanese woodblock prints. The samurai is sitting on his campstool in front of his sashimono, his personal standard in the shape of a lion's head with golden stripes representing the mane. The commander's fan hanging from his long sword is decorated with cosmological signs from the I Ching, reflecting the philosophical knowledge expected of an intellectual military thinker.
