The loyalty of the Kusonoki clan at the battle at Shijônawate - Kusunoki Shijônawate chűsen nozu - Masatsura
Size of each sheet 25 x 36.5 cm. Originally published in 1891, this probably slightly later: the quality of the impression is very good, yet the names of the original publisher and carver have been removed (see bottom left of lefthand sheet).



Very good impression, colours and condition: loose, full-size unbacked sheets.
