468$War chronicles of ŌsakaWar chronicles of ŌsakaŌsaka gunki no uchiTriptych大坂 軍記 之 内 半田寺山敗將日本號鎗傷 (大阪) (将)
Catalogue notesŌkubo Hikozaemon Tadataka protects the Tokugawa shōgun from the spear of Gotō Matabei Mototsugu. The correct reading, and meaning, of the subtitle, are currently uncertain. The 'saka' character used in the main title is not the normal one use for Ōsaka (at least not currently). A number of sources give the name of the right-hand person as "Gorō" (後藤 又兵衞 基次), but this is incorrect - it is actually "Gotō".
