A print (one of a triptych) of Asahina Saburo Yoshihide breaking down the great gate during the revolt of the Wada against the Hojo. At right Hojo Masatoki (possibly Tokifusa rather than Masatoki); at left Asahino Saburo Yoshihide. The Wada Rebellion was fought in spring 1213 in Kamakura, the headquarters of the Kamakura shogunate since 1185. The unrest was instigated by the warrior Wada Yoshimori against Hōjō Yoshitoki, regent of the shogun. In the triptych, Wada Yoshimori’s son Asahina Yoshihide crashes through the gate of the Hōjō stronghold at center. Hōjō Yoshitoki appears at far right, while his men are crushed by the collapsing structure. Utagawa Kuniyoshi was one of the last great masters of the Japanese ukiyo-e style of woodblock prints and painting.
