Ukiyo-e woodblock print depicting a dramatic struggle

This Ukiyo-e woodblock print captures a moment of intense drama and conflict. An elderly, emaciated man, his body taut with exertion, wields a large knife, his gaze fixed on an unseen threat. He is locked in a struggle with a young woman, who clings to him, her expression a mixture of fear and determination. Behind them, a ghostly image of a multi-armed Buddhist deity, possibly Kannon, looms, adding a spiritual or supernatural dimension to the scene. The background features a stylized landscape with a mountain and trees, and a decorative panel with Japanese calligraphy and portraits. The vibrant colors and dynamic composition convey a sense of urgency and raw emotion, characteristic of traditional Japanese art.
