DescriptionRooftop battle.jpg |
English: An Edo period wood block print of the samurai Inuzuka Shino battling Inukai Kempachi and his men on the roof of the Horyukaku, a tower of Koga Castle. This scene illustrates a popular episode from the Edo era novel "Tale of the Eight Dog Warriors of Satomi." Backed against a large fish ornament, Inuzuka Shino fights valiantly, sending his opponents tumbling through the air and sliding down the tiled rooftop. An enemy climbs over the roof below him, a truncheon clenched between his teeth, as a cloud of frightened birds takes wing. A fantastic, dramatic composition with excellent architectural detail and great expressive faces |
