Rebel samurai, desperate and resourceful, advance behind improvised shields made from bundled tatami floor mats as they press forward against the modernized forces of the Meiji government. Behind this moving barricade, warriors surge ahead brandishing swords and spears, their determination set against the disciplined firepower of imperial troops. The composition is energetic and tightly packed, conveying both urgency and chaos in one of the final great samurai uprisings of the nineteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist, Yamazaki Toshinobu, trained under both Utagawa Kunisada and Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, absorbing the dramatic compositional strategies of the Utagawa school while working in the rapidly changing visual culture of the Meiji period.
