DescriptionThe title inscription continues: Advancing, he takes a stronghold by storm. Retreating, he takes care of his soldiers. Brave general of the Sakunei branch. Be it a village with bright blossoms or be it a hazy moonlit night, he sleeps peacefully under a pine tree, taking his own life lightly. (Susumite kenjô o nuki shirizokite hei o busu. Sakunei shitai shôgun no ei. Seisei-taru hanazato oboro no tsuki. Shizuka ni shoka ni nemurite isshin o karon zu.)
