Equestrian battle

This woodblock print shows an equestrian battle. The samurai armed with a yari attacks his opponent.

Kuchi-e are sheets which were printed for publishing them in Japanese novels and literary magazines. They were made around the turn of the century (1868-1912).
The translation of Kuchi-e  means “mouth images”. Seen that way, they are, if you like, the precursors of the later mangas.
