Description:
Famous fight between Ushiwakamaru (Later, known as Minamoto Yoshitsune: Played by kabuki actor Onoe Kikugoro) and Benkei (left: played by Ichikawa Sadanji) on Gojo Bridge. Asides from the scenes in the military affairs in Meiji era, or in kabuki plays, Chikanobu seldom produced traditional warrior genre prints.
