Kasunoki Masahige was a 14th century samurai who fought for Emperor Go-Daigo in his attempt to wrest rulership of Japan away from the Kamakura shogunate. In Japan he is upheld as an exemplar of the samurai code and deep loyalty to the emperor, if necessary unto death. According to legend, Masahige's last words were Shichisei Hokoku! ("Would that I had seven lives to give for my country!")

This meticulously sculpted bronze okimono is based on the Okazaki Sessei's Kusanoki Masashige monument outside of the Imperial Palace in Tokyo. Masahige is suited in period Japanese armor sitting atop a magnificent muscled steed reared up in motion. With his sword drawn ready for battle, The legendary Mahahige’s countenance exemplifies a noble calm and a potent present masculinity. His armor (kabuto) headdress is resplendent. Not uncommon in the design of traditional kabuto, his headdress conveys a larger than life quality bestowing the fierce warrior who wears it with a mythical greatness. This bronze okimono is in excellent condition.
