Nobunaga - battle of Okehazama

Oda Nobunaga (1534 – 1582), famous for his short temper and his military prowess, was the first of the three great warlords involved in the unification of 16th-century Japan, the others being his protégé Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and the first shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu.

This is a fantasy portrait of his first great victory, at the Battle of Okehazama (in present-day Nagoya).

Uesugi Kenshin, warrior god

The youthful Uesugi Kenshin tramples on a tangle of gargoyle figures in this fantastic rendering. Famed and feared as a warrior in 16th century Japan, his death poem also features on the front of the puzzle box (not on the puzzle itself). It is written in the Chinese style: "Forty Nine Years - one night's dream - a lifetime of prosperity - a cup of sake."
