Takeuchi no Sukune, No. 46 - Impressive portrait of the warrior Takeuchi no Sukune in the Imperial Gardens on a moonlit night. He served as a trusted minister for the third century Empress Jingu, shown with him in the inset above fishing. The elderly samurai sits on a stool, his bow and arrows slung across his back, an unusual claw necklace around his neck. A river winds back among the hills, with a full moon glowing in the evening sky. A handsome image, detailed with embossing in the white kimono.
