About This Item
Edo: Fujiokaya Keijiro, 1844. Original woodblock print on mulberry paper. This is the centre panel from the colour woodblock triptych entitled 'Kamakura Buei Yoshi Kagami'. Minamoto no Yoritomo was the founder and the first shogun of the Kamakura shogunate of Japan, ruling from 1192 until 1199. There was a film made in 1945 about his relationship with his brothers entitled Tora no O o Fumu Otokotachi: The Men Who Tread on the Tiger's Tail. In this print he is actually depicted with his famous tiger's tail! The other panels are not with this. It has rough edges and is delicate, with signs of reinforcement on the verso. 360 x 240 mm (14¼ x 9½ inches).
