Description:
Wada Asahina Saburo Yoshihide was said to be the son of the female warrior Tomoe Gozen and Wada Yoshimori (1146-1213), a trusted advisor of Minamoto no Yoritomo. Asahina was noted for his super human strength and bravery, and when his father was killed by the regent Hojo Yoshitake (1163-1224), Asahina retreated to the north to re-establish the Wada clan. While travelling, Asahina encountered many strange people. Inset: Two mythological figures encountered by Asahina were ‘Long Legs’ (Ashinaga) and ‘Long Arms (Tenaga) who could compensate for their deformities by fishing together. From the series Setsugekka. "Snow, Moon, Flowers".
