Description
This color woodblock print by Utagawa Kunitsuna I, held by Waseda University Library (accession number 012-1418), depicts Takeda Harunobu Nyūdō Shingen — the great daimyo of Kai (modern Yamanashi) Province whose conflicts with Uesugi Kenshin at Kawanakajima produced some of the most celebrated military encounters of the Sengoku period — alongside his senior retainer Itagaki Suruga-no-kami (Itagaki Nobukata), from the series A Complete Picture of the Great Battle of Kawanakajima between Two Generals of Kō and Etsu. The print is the companion to the Uesugi Kenshin sheet (012-1417), and together they document the two principal opposing commanders of the Kawanakajima campaigns.
