Comments - Fantastic depiction of the two great generals Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin at the Battle of Kawanakajima. In the center, Kenshin gallops into the enemy camp, gripping his sword above his head with both hands as his horse rears. Taken by surprise, Shingen deftly thrusts out his iron battle fan to deflect the coming blow. The battle rages fiercely all around them with figures silhouetted in gray behind them. At right, Shingen's retainers quickly move in, thrusting spears at Kenshin. A dramatic scene packed with terrific detail, including delicate embossing on the flowing white mane of Shingen's battle helmet. A striking triptych illustrating this legendary incident from the famous 16th century war between Kai and Echigo provinces.
