An Early Warrior Diptych Showing Minamoto Yoshitomo and Minamoto Yoshitsune on Horseback, signed by Kunisada, is a notable example of Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints from the Edo period. This diptych, created by the esteemed artist Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865), captures the valor and historical significance of two prominent samurai figures from the Minamoto clan: Minamoto Yoshitomo and his son Minamoto Yoshitsune.

Kunisada, also known by his later name Toyokuni III, was one of the most prolific and popular ukiyo-e artists of his time. His works are celebrated for their vibrant colors, dynamic compositions, and intricate details. The diptych format, consisting of two separate but related prints, allows for a broader and more dramatic portrayal of the subjects, a technique often employed by Kunisada to enhance the narrative and visual impact of his works.

Minamoto Yoshitomo (1123–1160) was a key figure in the late Heian period, known for his role in the Hōgen and Heiji Rebellions. His son, Minamoto Yoshitsune (1159–1189), is one of Japan's most legendary warriors, celebrated for his military prowess and strategic genius during the Genpei War, which ultimately led to the establishment of the Kamakura shogunate. The depiction of these historical figures on horseback emphasizes their martial prowess and the chivalric ideals associated with samurai culture.

Kunisada's portrayal of Yoshitomo and Yoshitsune is not only a tribute to their historical legacy but also a reflection of the Edo period's fascination with the romanticized past of the samurai. The artist's signature on the diptych authenticates the work and adds to its historical and artistic value. This piece is a testament to Kunisada's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects and his contribution to the perpetuation of samurai lore through the medium of ukiyo-e.
