Hi,
Would appreciate a translation of the title cartouche on this 1877 triptych by Shogetsu showing, I believe, an incident involving Saigo Takamori prior to his role in the 1877 Satsuma Rebellion, possibly when he was fighting against the shogunate. In addition, if anyone is familiar with what is being portrayed in the print I'd greatly appreciate hearing from you.

Print and cartouche detail can be found at https://picasaweb.google.com/irwin.lavenberg/HayakawaShogetsuUnidenfiedSaigoPrint?feat=directlink

Thanks,
Irwin
