"The Death of Tomomori at the Battle of Dan-no-Ura" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798–1861). This print is part of Kuniyoshi's larger body of work that illustrates scenes from Japanese history and folklore, often focusing on samurai and legendary warriors. The artwork depicts the dramatic and tragic end of Taira no Tomomori, a general of the Taira clan, during the Genpei War's decisive naval battle at Dan-no-Ura on April 25, 1185.

In this print, Kuniyoshi captures the moment of Tomomori's death, as he adheres to the samurai code of honor by choosing to commit suicide rather than face defeat. According to historical accounts and epic tales like the Heike Monogatari, Tomomori tied himself to an anchor and threw himself into the sea to drown, as the Taira forces were being vanquished by the rival Minamoto clan. Kuniyoshi's portrayal is characterized by dramatic expression, a dynamic composition, and the vivid use of color, which were hallmarks of his artistic style.

Utagawa Kuniyoshi was a master of the ukiyo-e genre, and his works are celebrated for their imaginative approach and technical excellence. "The Death of Tomomori at the Battle of Dan-no-Ura" is a testament to Kuniyoshi's skill in conveying narrative and emotion, and it remains an important example of Edo period art. The print is not only significant for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the visual culture of the time, reflecting the popular interest in Japan's warrior past and the enduring themes of honor, loyalty, and the tragic beauty of defeat.
