Jack Hillier, in his book on the Vever Collection prints, calls this triptych "an outstanding rarity," as so few impressions are known. Other than this one, the left panel exists only in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. The text of the kabuki play the triptych illustrates was not preserved, but the drama concerns the conflict between the Taira and Minamoto clans in the medieval period.
