Wonderful early wood block triptych by Utagawa Yoshitora (c.1836-c.1880) of the great battle of Shij�-Nawate on the fifth day of the first month, 1350 (Sh�hei gonen sh�gatsu itsuka Shij�-Nawate �gassen no zu) The 1348 Battle of Shijōnawate was a battle of the Nanboku-chō period (1336-1392) which took place in Yoshino, Nara. It was fought between the armies of the Northern and Southern Emperors of Japan. The Southern army, led by Kusunoki Masatsura was attacked at Yoshino, the temporary palace of the Imperial residence. Feeling too weak to defend the residence, Masatsura marched out with his whole force to meet his assailants. Kitabatake Chikafusa, meanwhile, led his force towards Izumi, diverting some of the attackers away from the palace. Kusunoki engaged the enemy commander Kō no Moroyasu in single combat, and, it is said, was about to take Kō's head when he was struck by an arrow; Kusunoki then committed seppuku. The battle ended in a Northern Court victory, but the Southern Court fled Yoshino, leaving little for their enemies to capture. Signed in each panel, "Ichimōsai Yoshitora ga".
