About this work

This painting is a triptych, a set of three connected panels. The scene is crowded with figures, all dressed in traditional Japanese clothing and hairstyles. The main figures are men, some of whom are wearing military-style uniforms with gold accents. In the center panel, a man sits on a chair, looking down at someone on the floor. Another man stands behind him, holding a sword. The background of the panels is red, with some Japanese characters written on them. This painting is a great example of the work of Toyohara Kunichika, a Japanese artist who was active in the late 19th century.
