Kajiwara Genda Taira no Kagesue - Handsome portrait of Kajiwara Genda Taira no Kagesue, one of Yoritomo's retainers. He is perhaps best remembered for his race across the Uji River against Sasaki Takasuna in a quest to engage Yoshinaka's forces first. He wears formal court dress, with a voluminous blue kamishimo over a finely patterned kimono and suit of armor, along with a tall black court cap. He grips a fan in on hand as he glares over his shoulder. A nice design.
