Description |
Kunisada created a number of prints that featured the warrior Yoshitsune. The samurai was raised in a monastery and taught the secrets of fighting by mythic forest creatures before revenging his father who was persecuted by a rival clan. The warriors carry an absurd number of weapons as they battle in the snow, which is further defined by embossing on the paper. |
