Minamoto no Yoritomo - Terrific portrait of Minamoto no Yoritomo, the founder and first shogun of the Kamakura Shogunate. He is shown as a young warrior, seated on a stool, with a brush in one hand and a notebook in the other. Yoritomo wears a fine suit of armor emblazoned with the paulownia mon or crest of the Minamoto Clan, and his sword is tucked into a tiger skin case. A fantastic image of this legendary warrior.
