"Minamoto no Yoshitsune Miyako o Uchitachi Saikoku e" (源義経都を打ちたち西国へ) is a ukiyo-e woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798–1861). This print is part of a larger series that illustrates the life and exploits of the famous 12th-century samurai Minamoto no Yoshitsune. Kuniyoshi, known for his depictions of historical and legendary figures, often portrayed Yoshitsune, who is a popular subject in Japanese art and literature due to his military prowess and tragic fate.

The title of the print can be translated as "Minamoto no Yoshitsune Leaving the Capital for the Western Provinces," and it captures a pivotal moment in Yoshitsune's life. The artwork likely depicts the period following Yoshitsune's successful campaigns against the Taira clan, after which he fell out of favor with his brother, Minamoto no Yoritomo, the shogun who felt threatened by Yoshitsune's growing popularity and power.

In the print, Kuniyoshi showcases his skill in capturing the dynamism and drama of Yoshitsune's story. The composition may feature Yoshitsune in a heroic pose, possibly on horseback, as he departs from Kyoto, the capital, to seek refuge in the western provinces of Japan. The artist's use of line, color, and attention to detail would be evident in the intricate armor and clothing of the figures, as well as in the expressions of determination or sorrow on their faces.

Utagawa Kuniyoshi's works are celebrated for their vivid storytelling and technical excellence, and "Minamoto no Yoshitsune Miyako o Uchitachi Saikoku e" is no exception. This print not only serves as a piece of fine art but also as a visual narrative that offers insight into the cultural and historical context of the period it represents. As with many of Kuniyoshi's prints, this work would be of interest to both art enthusiasts and those with a passion for Japanese history and folklore.
