Utagawa Yoshifusa (active 1837–1860)

This dramatic design depicts the ghost of the warrior Akugenta Yoshihira (1141–1160) exacting revenge on his murderer Nanba Jiro. Akugenta causes lightening to strike his murderer Nanba at the centre of the composition, and at the same time shoots flames at his enemy Taira no Kiyomori, on the right sheet of the triptych. The Nunobiki waterfall is highlighted in blue against the darkness to the far left of the composition.
