Cock: Lord Sasaki Saburo Moritsuna - Handsome portrait of the Minamoto general Sasaki Saburo Moritsuna. He stands on the shore looking out to sea as the sun sets, a stern expression on his face, his dappled horse waiting patiently at his side. He wears a fine red and white robe over his armor and a tall black court cap, a fan in one hand. A rosy glow spreads along the horizon as the sky darkens overhead and white-capped waves crash along the beach. A rooster and hen are perched in a basket hanging from the eaves of the rustic hut at left, and seashells are scattered across the sand. A great design with beautiful shading in the sky, water, and shore.
