Comments - Handsome scene of Hatakeyama Shigetada on horseback atop a hill at right, surveying Takadachi Castle in Osshu as his men begin attacking it. Below, samurai move along the shore and across a bridge over the moat at right to stream through the gate into the fortress. Defenders are massed inside the fortress, their standards and pennants just visible above the stone walls. A great panoramic design, nicely detailed. An interesting depiction of the quiet moments leading up to the battle.
