This is a vibrant, traditional Japanese woodblock print divided into three panels, often referred to as a triptych. The print depicts a dramatic scene involving several samurai warriors engaging in battle against a large, ferocious dragon. The dragon spans the center and right panels, with its body coiling through waves that splash across the bottom of the scene. The samurai are adorned in detailed, colorful armor indicative of the Edo period, showcasing intricate patterns and elaborate helmet decorations. Their dynamic poses suggest motion and the fierceness of the battle. Traditional Japanese kanji characters are visible in vertical blocks on each panel, likely providing context, title, or artist information. The overall composition is one of action and mythology, common in the ukiyo-e genre of the 17th through 19th centuries in Japan.
