 This piece was started about 4 years ago. During that time Emanuel moved away to Stockholm in order to study, and the opportunities to complete it has been scarce since then. However, a few days after the new year we made a joint effort and finally reached the end of the journey.

Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin are two very famous samurai Daimyo (lords) and if you click their names you read about them at the eminent Samurai Archives website.
