The story is base on the famous Mitsuhide's 'Mikka Tenka', three days after killing Oda Nobunaga at Honoji and before being avenged by Hideyoshi.

Utagawa Kunisada (1786 - 1865) (also known as Utagawa Toyokuni III) was the most popular, prolific and financially successful designer of ukiyo-e woodblock prints in 19th-century Japan. In his own time, his reputation far exceeded that of his contemporaries, Hokusai, Hiroshige and Kuniyoshi.
