This is a set of fuchi kashira depicting a famous scene from the Heike Monogatari, the battle of Yashima, with Kumagai Naozane calling out to Taira no Atsumori. The scene is skillfully rendered on a shakudo ground, showcasing the poignant moment of a warrior's compassion and the transience of life. The intricate carving technique beautifully captures the dynamic composition.
