The battle of Shizugatake took place in 1583 and marked the ascendancy of Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1537-98) as a powerful feudal lord after the death of Oda Nobunaga (1534-82), whom Hideyoshi had served. Here Hideyoshi’s loyal follower, Kato Kiyomasa (1562-1611), is seen guarding a mountain pass during the battle.
