Comments - Fantastic panoramic view of Takamatsu Castle under water, surrounded by enemy ships approaching through the rising floodwaters. In 1592, Toyotomi Hideyoshi decided to end his siege of the castle by diverting a nearby river, flooding the castle and leading to the surrender of Shimizu Muneharu, who held the castle for the Mori Clan. At bottom center, a general watches from atop a stone embankment, troops gathered behind him. An incredible scene with terrific detail. A great depiction of this legendary samurai battle tactic.
