About "Masashige Kusunoki - Samurai who died for an emperor (Black and white)"

by DEN Vector

About the artwork

Masashige (1294 - 1336) was a fourteenth-century samurai. Coming from a wealthy family, he was a scholar and a devout Buddhist. Moreover, he was courageous and loyal to the emperor. This was not unusual at the time, so why was he special? During his lifetime, the Kamakura shogunate ruled Japan. That was fine, of course, but the emperor, Go-Daigo, wanted real power to return to the throne. According to legend, he dreamt while resting under a camphor tree (in Japanese, "Kusunoki"). Can you see where this is going? No prizes for guessing who that was. Masashige suddenly noticed that he was a loyalist general. Fortunately, he was a brilliant tactician and strategist. He defended two forts, Akasaka and Chihaya. This allowed Go-Daigo to briefly regain power. He rewarded Masashige for his efforts. The emperor gave him the governorship of the provinces of Settsu and Kawachi (near Osaka). He also received judicial promotions and honours.
