Notes

Smith 1988

This heroic subject is based on the No drama piece 'Funa Benkei' ('Benkei in the Boat'). The Minamoto clan hero Yoshitsune and his men are on a ship, when they are attacked by the ghosts of the Heike who were drowned at the Battle of Dannoura. Yoshitsune's retainer, the gigantic Benkei, repulses them with his presence and courage. Benkei is seen on the stern of the ship. The signature is 'Painted by Ichiyusai Kuniyoshi'.

[edit]
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
