Paper & condition
Colours well preserved and the impression presents well — the composition clearly visible across all three sheets. The paper shows some issues, including wear, small repairs to the margins and some small holes across the sheets; the paper remains supple. Please check the images!

About the print
Rather than depicting a named battle, this triptych belongs to a much less common genre: the military-strategy diagram. Across three sheets, Sadahide lays out an entire army deployed in the gyorin — "fish-scale" — formation, seen from his signature bird's-eye viewpoint. Each unit is identified by a printed label, and the divisions can be followed in sequence across the set: the vanguard (senjin) and second and third divisions on the left sheet, the fourth and fifth divisions with the middle-camp reserve on the centre sheet, and on the right the commander at the main camp (honjin taishō) surrounded by his standards, together with the banner commissioner (hata bugyō), the baggage-train commissioner (konida bugyō) and the rear guard. The dominant impression is of massed ranks in red and blue armour winding across a plain green ground, punctuated by banners and standards — a functional, almost cartographic clarity entirely characteristic of Sadahide, the one Utagawa artist who made the panoramic overhead view his speciality.
The gyorin was one of the celebrated "eight formations" (hachijin) of Japanese military lore, associated above all with Takeda Shingen: a wedge-shaped attacking deployment, famously said to have been used against Tokugawa Ieyasu's "crane-wing" formation at the Battle of Mikatagahara (1573). Prints of this didactic type catered to the enduring Edo-period fascination with the strategy and pageantry of the Warring States era, and they appeal today to collectors of samurai and military history as much as to print collectors.

About the artist
Sadahide, a pupil of Kunisada, ranked among the most celebrated print designers of the late Edo period — first in the Tokyo artist rankings of 1868, and one of the artists whose work represented Japan at the 1867 Paris Exposition. He is best known for his Yokohama-e and for his ambitious panoramic bird's-eye compositions, of which this formation diagram is a distinctive military application. Formation and strategy prints of this kind appear on the market far less frequently than standard warrior triptychs.
