This hanging scroll portrays the shogun lord Uesugi no Terutora (known as Kenshin) as he sits in his military encampment beside a banquet for his generals. He is enjoying a moment of quiet before the next day’s battle against his longtime rival and, struck by the sight of a flock of geese flying past the full moon, he is inspired to write a poem.
