Tametomo, the archer, pulling cloth 1854

"Tametomo, the archer, pulling cloth" is a woodblock print from 1854, created by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Kunisada. The print depicts the legendary warrior Tametomo in full armor, with a determined expression. He pulls a cloth, perhaps a banner, with his right hand while his left hand rests on his sword hilt. The intricate details of his armor and clothing, the background of swirling waves, and the warrior's dynamic pose are hallmarks of Kunisada's signature style, known as ukiyo-e. This print is a classic example of the artist's ability to capture the spirit and action of historical figures.
