A mounted general with a bow rides past a blossoming cherry tree

A general in dark lamellar armour rides a white horse draped with a thick crimson tail-cover, a bow raised in one hand and his head bound in white cloth. A foot attendant in blue-striped hakama walks alongside, shouldering a long spear. Behind them a gnarled, blossoming cherry tree stands against a pale blue sky, with a fence and fields beyond. A title cartouche and text panel sit at the upper right; a red cartouche naming the general is at the lower centre, with signature and seal at the lower left.

Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839–1892) was the last major master of ukiyo-e, working through the upheaval of the Meiji era. A pupil of Kuniyoshi, he moved from violent early war prints to the psychological intensity of his mature series — One Hundred Aspects of the Moon (1885–92) and New Forms of Thirty-Six Ghosts — in which history, legend and theatre are staged by moonlight. His draughtsmanship and unusual use of colour carried the woodblock print into the modern period. His prints are held by the British Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
