Hokuei has used the work’s title, lyrically written across the top, the patterned costumes, exaggerated facial expressions, theatrical makeup (white, red, and black), and stylized gestures to depict an imaginary encounter between two samurai of the Heian period—Hachiman Taro (1039–1106) and Abe no Sadato (1019–1062)—who were the eldest sons and famous warriors of clans that competed for power. While Taro and Sadato never actually fought one another, Hokuei shows the actors portraying them staring fiercely at each other, their exaggerated wild-eyed expressions and grimaces brought into stronger focus by the monochromatic background of the print.\n</p>\n<p>\n\t<br /><b>\n\tEve Aschheim</b>, artist\n\t<br /><b>\n\tJohn Yau</b>, poet and critic\n</p>","remarks":"PND-STR_30_WLA   Day 1 Cataloguing"}],"datebegin":1832,"sortnumber":"2011   92","published_date":"2026-05-08 02:00:58.323781","objectid":60652,"dimensions":"block: 26.5 × 39.3 cm (10 7/16 × 15 1/2 in.)\r\nmount: 31.7 × 44.5 cm (12 1/2 × 17 1/2 in.)","on_view":false}
