Description
Kato Kiyomasa gaining merit at Shizugatake—the 1583 battle where Kato Kiyomasa, one of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's most loyal generals, distinguished himself in the fighting that destroyed Shibata Katsuie—is a subject from the violent transition period between Sengoku warlordism and the Toyotomi unification. Kato, later famous for his campaigns in Korea and his tiger hunting, appears here in his first moment of recognized military excellence.
