A traveler and a woman carrying a child on her back, approach a group of local farmers who are warming themselves by a fire. In the distance can be seen a castle built by Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu before his rise to power and occupied in 1571. Ieyasu was the founder of the line that ruled Japan for more than two hundred and fifty years (1615-1868).On View
