Description: An absolutely fantastic woodblock triptych of one of Sadahide’s masterpieces. This print is very rare. An original is impossible to find outside of a museum and even reprints such as this are extremely rare. This beautiful woodblock reprint was done exactly as the originals. An artist carved a wood block, one for each color, paying meticulous attention to detail and color, creating a print that rivals the originals. Imaginary fight between the two auspicious animals representing the sky (dragon) and the earth (tiger). Whenever the dark clouds appear and the strong wind blows, the legend says the two are fighting (none of them wins, however).
