This book presents major works of Utagawa Kuniyoshi made in triptychs - prints composed in order to be seen as three panels - depicting wars of Samurai armies and also, duels against mythological beings.He became one of the greatest innovators of the nineteenth century woodcuts by creating his own style through the absolute domination of the Musha-e, a genre that consisted of depictions of warriors from ancient myths, military literature, and contemporary novels, and whose focus was action, bringing to life scenes of epic battles and challenges.The 100 prints have been carefully selected to entertain and show the readers the explosion of color, chaos and beauty of the scenes of the triptych, depicted with an amazing creativity by Utagawa Kuniyoshi.
