Description: Historical episode - During the war of Genpei, from the story Ise Monogatari and the battle of Yashima in the strait between Honshu and Shikoku, the famous warrior prince, "Minamoto Yoshitsune" (Warrior prince High-ranking Samurai), from the Kamakura era with occult powers, riding his mount and descending an extremely steep slope, impossible for other warriors. Very finely and delicately painted scene on silk, view of the trees clinging to the mountain and in the distance the "Setonaikai" sea.

Reference on the signature "Rissai", by Ando Hiroshige. This pseudonym was used by Hiroshige (53 stages of Tokaido) at the start of his career.
