Edo Period Japanese Ukiyo-e Woodblock Print Triptych, Battle in the Kiso Mountains, by Yoshikawa Shunko

This is an antique Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print triptych from the Edo period.

The three large-format sheets form a dramatic battle scene titled “Battle in the Kiso Mountains.”

The composition depicts samurai warriors in action and is a striking example of musha-e, or warrior prints, as well as a historical battle print.

The work is attributed to Yoshikawa Shunko.
