NihontoWatchNihontoWatchIn May of Genko 3, Nitta Yoshisada, during the general assault on Kamakura, was at a standstill at the heavily defended Gokurakujizaka. There, Yoshisada devised a plan; he prayed to the sea god at the beach of Inamuragasaki and cast his tachi into the sea. This historical scene was carved and depicted by Ayanokoji Nagamine, who excelled at the expression of human figures. On a shakudo nanako-ji with takabori, iroe of gold, silver, and suaka have been added, precisely portraying even the expressions of the warriors praying alongside Yoshisada.
