"Bunji 4-nen (1188), Soshu Daimotsu-ga-ura Nanpu no Zu". While Yoshitsune was sailing on Daimotsu-ga-ura Bay in Soshu in 1188, the chilling ghosts of the fallen Heike clan emerge from the ocean bottom and attack Yoshitsune's boat. Benkei, Yoshitsune and his retainers confront them fearlessly to throw them back to the ocean. The faint shadow of the ghost of Taira general Tomomori appears in the distance. This dramatic episode was also transformed by Yoshitoshi to a masterpiece (see artelino archive item #6858).
