This powerful triptych titled "Kyoto Honnoji Gassen" is by the celebrated master Yoshitoshi Taiso (1839–1892). It depicts three samurai in a fierce battle at Honno-ji. The print features high-quality techniques including embossing and burnishing. Although the paper shows some toning and historical wear consistent with its age, the vibrant storytelling makes it a quintessential example of Meiji-era warrior prints.
