Description
Left: The Sengoku samurai Yasuda Sakubei (1556-1597, also known as Yasuda Kunitsugu) breaks into Honnō-ji Temple (this event is known as the "Honnō-ji Incident"). He hides behind a screen featuring a painting of a goat. This print is based on this late-Meiji period work by Adachi Ginko.
Right: The Sengoku period samurai Samanosuke (1536?-1582), more commonly known as Akechi Hidemitsu, crosses Lake Biwa on his horse. While most of the prints in this set were based on Adachi Ginko's "Educational Zodiac" series, this print appears to have been loosely based on this illustration from Ginko's Dai Nihon-shi Ryaku-zue series, with a few elements borrowed from a similar print by Toyonobu.
