Samurai battle woodblock print auction find

[tokashikibob]

Just got back from a 7 hour round trip with a truck load of pickin's from a estate of a husband / wife art collecter.   The one thing I wanted in the woodblocks was this Samurai battle wood block print.   There were others of various subject matter and maybe famous artists but the only one I wanted was this one to frame and keep.   If this scene is familiar to anyone,  please post so I can make a index card and put it on the back of the piece.

Best regards,

Bob

Hi Bob, congratulations on your purchase. (Check out 歌川芳形 Utagawa Yoshikata).

Wow,  thanks Piers!   A couple of those swords in the woodblock remind me of the ones Ray S. posts time to time on the for sale forum.  

I guess I should have stepped up on a couple of the others instead of buying pottery and coins.  Now to find a frame!
