Kuniyoshi used silhouette\u2014itself a symbol of evanescence\u2014as a method of depiction such ethereal subjects as ghosts, around which developed a genre that became increasingly popular in the nineteenth century. Represented are the ghosts of the Taira warriors, who were vanquished at sea by the Minamoto clan from a twelfth-century clan rivalry. The Minamoto sail past the site of the earlier battle and is attacked by the ghosts of the Taira. The ghosts are differentiated from the living not only by a separate color palette but also by Kuniyoshi's device of contrasting of their soft, fluid outlines with the razor-sharp clarity and detail with which the Minamoto clan is treated.
