Description |
Kunisada achieved fame at the beginning of his career by his portraits of celebrated actors. Here, however, Kunisada has depicted a story from history. His subject is taken from the exploits of the "Three Heroes of Shu" (Gentoku, Kwanu and Chohi), who fought in the civil wars that accompanied the fall of the Han dynasty in China. |
