Description:

Block 4 from a book of illustrations of Sogamonogatari Zue (The Story of the Revenge of the Soga Brothers), who according to folklore on May 28, 1193, killed the man who had assassinated their father in 1175. The series is considered an unusual subjest for the great landscapist, Hiroshige, though this block shows a scenic background.
