This dynamic triptych ukiyo-e woodblock print captures a dramatic Kabuki scene of intense struggle. The central samurai figure, fierce and determined, is surrounded by three others—either allies or foes—heightening the tension. The vibrant red background amplifies the energy and urgency of the moment.

Intricate costumes and expressive faces reveal a narrative filled with conflict and emotion. Bold lines and rich colors showcase the traditional Ukiyo-e style, popular in Edo-period Japan. Japanese kanji in the upper right corner likely identify the play or actors involved. The print powerfully conveys the theatrical drama and vivid storytelling typical of Kabuki art.
