About
Famous warriors are just one of the subjects depicted in Tsukioka Yoshitoshi’s series One Hundred Aspects of the Moon. In this scene he captures the military leader Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1537–1598) scaling Mount Inaba to infiltrate the Saitō clan castle at the top. In the 1567 siege, Hideyoshi successfully penetrated the castle from its unguarded rear, opening the front gates for the troops of his lord, Oda Nobunaga (1534–1582).
