Highlights<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u30fb Introduction \/ Enter the World of the Work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u3000In 1333, the Kamakura Shogunate fell following Ashikaga Takauji\u2019s betrayal. The story\u2019s protagonist, Hojo Tokiyuki, guided by Suwa Yorishige, sets out to reclaim Kamakura. Here, we introduce this work by depicting its world and its colorful cast of characters through traditional Japanese art forms such as folding screens and hanging scrolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u30fb Calligraphy\u201cThe Northern and Southern Courts Tag Game\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u3000The battles between Tokiyuki\u2014who possesses the unique talent of \u201cescaping\u201d in the story\u2014and the powerful foes who stand in his way are likened to a game of \u201ctag\u201d and have been dubbed \u201cThe Nanboku-ch\u014d Tag.\u201d In \u201cThe Nanboku-ch\u014d Tag,\u201d calligraphy by the calligrapher Kamari Maeda is featured to vividly depict the silent battle scenes in the manga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u30fb An Era of Turmoil: The Northern and Southern Courts Period<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u3000After the end of the Nakasendai Rebellion, Yoshishige entrusted Tokiyuki\u2014who was fleeing to Izu\u2014with \u201cOnimaru,\u201d a treasured sword passed down through generations of the H\u014dj\u014d clan. Meanwhile, Takauji broke ties with Emperor Go-Daigo, plunging the country into the fierce civil strife of the Nanboku-ch\u014d period. Seizing this opportunity, Tokiyuki chose to side with the Southern Court, which was at odds with Takauji\u2019s Northern Court, and was eventually granted a special imperial edict from Emperor Go-Daigo designating him as a friendly ally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u3000We trace the history of the Nanboku-ch\u014d period through the two \u201cweapons\u201d that sustained Tokiyuki as he survived this turbulent era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
