Inspired by Utagawa Kuniyoshi’s 1852 ukiyo-e masterpiece Sanuki-in’s Retainers Saving Tametomo, this reinterpretation transforms the dramatic sea battle into a dark, atmospheric vision reminiscent of Francisco de Goya.
The swirling waves, mythical beasts, and the desperate struggle for survival are rendered with a somber palette and turbulent brushwork, echoing Goya’s late Romantic sensibility.
Where Kuniyoshi celebrated heroic legend through bold lines and vibrant color, this homage reframes the scene as a haunting confrontation with nature’s fury—an encounter suspended between myth and nightmare.
