Moon of the Enemy’s Lair – Yamato-Take no Mikoto, was the third son of emperor Keiko, who reigned from 71-130 AD. The many exploits attributed to him are described in the Kojiki and Nihonji, major histories compiled in the 8th century. We see him here dressed as a woman and concealing his sword. The Emperor sent him to deal with a rebellion, which he does by infiltrating the rebels’ camp in disguise and killing the two brothers who led the rebellion. SIZE: 9.5 ins by 14 ins (25 cm by 35 cm).
