Note du spécialiste
The first shogun of the Kamakura Shogunate, Minamoto Yoritomo (1147-1199) held a great hunt with numerous warriors in 1193 at the foot of Mt. Fuji, called Fuji no Makigari, one year after his appointment as shogun, to acknowledge his great authority.
Some scenes from the Fuji no Makigari can be identified, for example in the left screen:
First panel: Minamoto Yoritomo's hunting party enter the field
Fourth panel: Nitta Tadatsuna hunting a wild boar
There are inscriptions in Japanese stating the numbers of warriors and animals attached to the back of each screen. For example, six racoons, five monkeys and eight dogs.
