Japan: Samurai warrior in full armour on horseback (thought to be Minamoto no Yoshitsune,1159-1189). Isoda Koryusai (1735–c.1790)

Minamoto no Yoshitsune (? ??, 1159 – June 15, 1189) was a general of the Minamoto clan of Japan in the late Heian and early Kamakura period. Yoshitsune was the ninth son of Minamoto no Yoshitomo, and the third and final son and child that Yoshitomo would father with Tokiwa Gozen. Yoshitsune's older brother Minamoto no Yoritomo (the third son of Yoshitomo) founded the Kamakura shogunate. Yoshitsune's name in childhood was Ushiwakamaru (???). He is considered one of the greatest and the most popular warriors of his era, and one of the most famous samurai fighters in the history of Japan. Isoda Koryusai (????? 1735–c.1790) was a Japanese printmaker and painter active from approximately 1764 to 1788. The details of his life are under some dispute. He apparently came from a samurai background. One theory stated he became a ronin and was forced to turn to art, but another says he voluntarily gave up the life of a samurai for art. In 1781 he received the title Hokkyo for his talent and accomplishments. That he was so honored is one of the rare statements that is generally agreed to. There are those who believe he was a pupil of Harunobu, but this is disputed. Although some of his prints survived few of his paintings did. That said it is known that he was a prolific artist. His subjects ranged from Confucian virtues, to birds, to herblore, and also included hundreds of erotica prints.
