The moon of Ogurusu in Yamashiro

In 1582, Akechi Mitsuhide forced Oda Nobunaga to commit seppaku. His forces were then promptly routed by Hideyoshi at the Battle of Yamazaki (Tennozan). Mitsuhide fled, but was killed by a peasant militia near the village of Ogurusu. In this print, Mitsushide is horseback, under the moon. A peasant watches, planning the ambush.
