This hanging scroll depicts a dramatic battle scene in which a lone samurai boldly charges into enemy territory, confronting multiple opposing warriors. In contrast, a defeated general is shown turning his back and fleeing the battlefield, creating a strong sense of tension, motion, and narrative depth within the composition. The work is painted by Matsumoto Fūko, a Japanese artist active during the Meiji period (circa late 19th to early 20th century), well known for his powerful depictions of samurai and historical battle scenes. The dynamic brushwork and expressive portrayal of courage and conflict exemplify Fūko’s mastery of martial themes and Meiji-era aesthetics. Condition The scroll is in good condition overall.
