Warriors in a Night Conference, Color Woodcut by Utagawa Yoshifuji, 1851

A color woodcut shows armored warriors gathered in a night conference on a grassy shore, with a large red-and-gold banner, lantern-lit posts, and dark blue mountains and sea behind them. Figures in layered robes and armor sit and kneel in tight groups, several holding fans or papers, while a vertical cartouche in red at upper left carries inscribed title text.
