Vechtende mannen 1865

"Vechtende mannen" is a woodblock print by Utagawa Kunitsuna, a prominent artist of the Edo period in Japan. The print, created in 1865, depicts a dynamic scene of two samurai engaged in a fierce battle. Kunitsuna masterfully captures the energy and intensity of the fight, using bold lines and vibrant colors to depict the clash of swords and the determination of the warriors. The print, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of Japanese samurai culture and the artistry of the Edo period.
