Description
This triptych shows the flight of Minamoto no Yoshitsune and his men (including the warrior-monk, Benkei) from the wrath of Minamoto no Yoritomo. As they cross Daimotsu Bay, the grotesque ghosts of Taira samurai, who had drowned in the sea battle of Dan-no-ura, rise from the sea. Led by the general Taira no Tomomori, they attack Yoshitsune’s ship.
