The ghosts of the Taira clan are hauntingly silhouetted against a dark sky as they attack Yoshitsune’s ship. Troops can be seen frantically lowering the boat’s sails as the gigantic waves rise up ominously around them.For another impression of the same print in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (The MET), accession number JP1565, go to:https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collectionFor two further examples of this print in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, accession numbers 11.30566a-c, 1992.568a-c, go to:https://www.mfa.org/collections/search
