Object Description
Meiji period color woodblock triptych, depicting a theatrical scene with an army general giving his men orders. On the left is Nakamura and Ichikawa Sadanji. In the center is Ichikawa Danjuro IX as Uesugi Kenshin. On the right is Suketakaya Takasuke. Uesugi no Terutora (1530-1578), lord of Echigo province, shaved his head and took priestly vows in 1552, taking the name Kenshin. Like many of his contemporaries, entering the priesthood did little to restrain his military endeavors. (see also 93.3.53)
