Description
Hatakeyama Shigetada Fording the Uji River
Fantastic depiction of the warrior Hatakeyama Shigetada racing across the Uji River to attack Kiso Yoshinaka at the Second Battle of Uji in 1184. He swims alongside his dappled horse, gripping the striped reins with one hand. He wears a beautiful robe patterned with a dragon and swirling clouds over his armor and a battle helmet. Lovely soft shading in the gently rippling water and sky, with masterful handling of the body underwater. A terrific samurai subject.
