Catalog note / 解説

From the series, Ukiyo-e Parallels for the Genji - Chapter 38 Suzumushi or Bell Crickets Fukuoka Mitsugi Simultaneously Subdues Three Ruffians While Slicing a Lantern Thrown at Him In many warrior prints the hero is shown subduing not just one opponent but several at once, as we see here. In the martial arts it is not good strategy to focus exclusively on one opponent or attack by one kind of weapon.
