Oban Tate-e triptych.  Very good impression, colors and condition.  A little trimmed.

Although the combat of Wakagawa Kiyohide and Takuma Gemba at the Battle of Kurikaradani in 1183 is inscribed on the triptych, it actually represents Nakagawa Kiyohide and Sakuma Gemba Morimasa at the Battle of Shizu-ga-mine in 1583.
