This woodblock print, created in the 19th century by renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, depicts the departure of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and his troops from their Nagoya camp. The print, titled "Hideyoshi and His Troops Leaving Nagoya Camp", showcases Yoshitoshi's mastery of detail and dynamic composition. The scene unfolds across three panels, capturing the grandeur of the procession with a vibrant array of banners, flags, and armor. Yoshitoshi's distinct style, known for its dramatic depictions of historical figures and events, is evident in this work, which exemplifies the genre of ukiyo-e, or "pictures of the floating world," popular in Edo-period Japan.
