Hiroshige's woodblock print titled Taira no Kiyomori's Spectral Vision depicting the samurai Kiyomori as a veteran of battle in the later stages of his life. As he looks out over the snow-covered garden from the veranda of his palace home, he is haunted by vision of the skeletons of his many slain enemies.
