Princess Saohime dies in her brother's castle 

This woodblock print by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, a leading artist of the late Edo period, depicts the tragic tale of Princess Saohime. The princess, dressed in a pale pink kimono, floats amidst swirling flames and smoke, her ethereal form suggesting her death. Below, a group of armed warriors stand silhouetted against a night sky, their swords drawn, creating a powerful visual contrast. Yoshitoshi's use of dynamic lines and vivid colors captures the drama and pathos of the scene, a characteristic of his "One Hundred Ghost Tales" series. The print's subject matter, a tragic tale of love and loss, resonates with viewers even today.
