Beschreibung:
Odai Matarokuro Yorisada is believed to have been one of many brave samurai generals in Shinano province who lost their lives fighting the unstoppable warlord Takeda Shingen. Rather than simply surrendering, Matarokuro set fire to his castle and remained at its gateway, preventing the enemy troops from entering. Fearlessness in the face of death in battle as well as honorable suicide (instead of ignoble capture) were respected samurai ideals. Enemy foot soldiers, some with matchlock guns (teppo), are here seen fleeing, frightened by raging flames
