Kiyomori and the History of Nunobiki Waterfall: The spirit of Akugenta Yoshihira strikes Nanba Jirō. (Kiyomori nyūdō nunobiki no taki yūran akugenta yoshihira no rei nanba jirō o utsu) 1868

This 1868 woodblock print by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, titled *Kiyomori and the History of Nunobiki Waterfall: The spirit of Akugenta Yoshihira strikes Nanba Jirō,* depicts a scene from Japanese mythology. The print, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, features a dramatic, action-packed composition showcasing the vengeful spirit of Akugenta Yoshihira, a warrior from the Heian period, as he attacks Nanba Jirō. The dynamic use of color and line, characteristic of Yoshitoshi's work, adds to the intensity of the scene, making this a quintessential example of *ukiyo-e* printmaking.
