Légende

The Kawanakajima Battle, 1843-1847. The Japanese title in the top right means 'the brave general Arakawa Izunokami in the Kawanakajima battle' (Kawanakajima means the island where two rivers meet). This was the biggest battle during the civil war period (1567-1568) in Japan, and provides the theme for many theatrical plays and ukiyo-e during the Edo period.
