Marsh - Billings - Rockefeller National Historical Park, National Park Service
Woodstock, VT, United States
This print is part of Yoshitoshi's famous series "100 Aspects of the Moon" which depicts scenes from traditional Chinese and Japanese history and lore. In a scene from "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the General Cao Cao (150-220 AD) overlooks the Yangtze River. Flying birds are a harbinger of good fortune; they are flying away from him, perhaps aluding to the ending of the battle when the General was defeated.
