Shown gripping a long spear while surrounded by flying arrows and fallen enemies, the composition captures the chaos and intensity of battle with remarkable energy. Richly detailed armor, expressive facial carving, and bold color contrasts reflect Yoshiiku’s close inheritance of the dynamic musha-e tradition established by his teacher Kuniyoshi. Printed at the end of the Edo period in 1867, this work is a vivid example of late ukiyo-e warrior imagery, combining historical narrative with theatrical visual power.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sosaku Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47957137031333,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0477\/4258\/2949\/files\/No29_UtagawaYoshiiku_MasahisaSakai_No29printed1867.jpg?v=1782854730","url":"https:\/\/sosakucollection.com\/products\/utagawa-yoshiiku-masahisa-saka-1867-original-ukiyo-e-antique","provider":"Sosaku Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
