Tsukioka Yoshitoshi

Kamike no Yatsunada and Saho-hime, from the series Mirror of Famous Generals of Great Japan (Dai nihon meishô kagami). Kamitsukeno Yatsunada is attacking Saohime's castle, with Saohime perishing in the flames. Princess Saohime was the first wife of the legendary 11th century Emperor Suinin. Her brother Saohiko rebelled against the emperor, urging his sister to take her husband's life.

In distress, the beauty rushed to her brother's side and was killed along with him when his castle was attacked and burned.
