Katagiri Shōichi (Katagiri Katsumoto)
Series; Foundations of Morality and Success
Kyodo Risshi no Motoi
By Mizuno Toshikata
127 years old original woodblock print.
This print picturing Katagiri Katsumoto 片桐且元 (1556-1615) on horseback with Kimura Shigenari 木村 重成 (1593-1615) by his side. Osaka Castle is seen in the background with geese flying in formation, denoting the autumn season. The date is likely the 2nd day of the 11th month, 1614 when Katagiri left the Castle after fruitless efforts to reach a compromise between the Toyotomi clan and the shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu. The print's scroll speaks of Lady Yodo's, the mother of the young Hideyori Toyotomi (1593-c. 1615), suspicion of Katsumoto and her scheme to have him killed for suspected disloyalty. In the print's scene Shigenari is asking Katsumoto about this, asking him "what will come to be if you leave the Castle?"
