The product is a Japanese woodblock print depicting the scene of Akechi Mitsuhide being defeated by Kunimasa, created around 1894. The woodblock is meant to be part of a triptych with a samurai on horseback taking up the first two pieces. The piece we have depicts Mitsuhide, wearing straw rain gear, pulling a bamboo trap to stop the horse. Mitsuhide was a samurai general who betrayed and caused the death of Oda Nobunage. This artwork falls under the category of Asian antiques and is a unique piece of Japanese art that showcases traditional woodblock printing techniques. The print likely holds historical and cultural significance, capturing a moment in time from Japan's past and adding to the overall collection of Japanese antiques.
The print has visible signs of wear with pieces missing on the edges torn. The top has been disconnected.Dimensions: about: 8 1/2" L X 14" H
