Battle of Yashima, from the Tale of the Heike
A six-panel folding screen shows a sea battle rendered in gold leaf and ink, with boats crowded along dark water beneath clouds of gold. Warriors in armor and small clusters of pine trees fill the shoreline and the sea, while mountains rise at the left edge.
