| Yoshitoshi: Uesugi Kenshin Nyudo Terutora Riding into Battle |
This week we will look at another print by Yoshitoshi: Uesugi Kenshin Nyudo Terutora Riding into Battle. This print feels very modern, just look at the frontal perspective. However, it is from 1883.
Uesugi Kenshin (1530-1578) was a powerful daimyō and warrior of his time.
A daimyō was a feudal lord of old Japan, who, in practice, ruled his own land, and were subordinate only to the Shōgun.
