Description:
vertical chūban print with some trimming along right margin; musha-e; nishiki-e

Label Text:
The title of the print and the series are visible at upper-right, with the latter slightly obscured due to the trimmed right margin. This print is unsigned and bears no other identiying marks.

This impression depicts the Temple at Ishiyama, a stronghold of warrior monks who opposed the rule of the samurai. The structure was abandoned and destroyed before Toyohiro's lifetime (it is now in Osaka). As such, this print is classified as a "musha-e," or "historical picture," as opposed to a simple landscape.
