Description
Under a moonlit night sky, a samurai raises his sword overhead in a two-handed grip to cut down at a second warrior whose spear is caught in the crate before him. A young child is strapped to his back. Behind them a fallen samurai collapses in a pool of blood, while hidden among the pine trees further back stand a woman and another soldier. Triptych.
