Gojo Bridge
Catalog note / 解説
Ushiwakamaru (later known as Yoshitsune) and Benkei are fighting on Gojo Bridge in Kyoto. Rare diptych format prints made in 20th Century. Here, the mighty priest-warrior, Musashibo Benkei, is trying hard to strike agile Yoshitsune in vain. At last, he surrendered and became one of the loyal followers of Yoshitsune. They are the most beloved heros in Japanese legends and numerous kabuki plays and ukiyo-e have depicted them.
