Comments - Incredible triptych depicting the rebuilding of Kiyosu Castle in three days under the direction of Kinoshita Tokichiro (the future Toyotomi Hideyoshi). At left, Hideyoshi kneels before Lord Oda Nobunaga, who sits astride a dappled horse. Hideyoshi gestures towards the men at work on scaffoldings surrounding the stone walls of the fortress. At far right, a worker hands a bucket tied to a rope up to another workman. Behind him, a mason strikes a chisel with a mallet, while other men maneuver a large beam tied to a heavy rope. At the bottom of the center panel, another mason transfers mortar from a shovel onto a small board using a trowel. A fantastic image with wonderful detail and a striking composition. A great illustration of this legendary event.
