Within this worldview, {Hoyoroi Sakazuki} takes the kawari-kabuto (distinctive helmets) of Warring States warlords as its motif, expressing the human way of life and spirit — an encouragement for today's high-minded warriors living in the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work takes as its theme Takeda Shingen, one of the most legendary of the Sengoku-period warlords, drawing inspiration from his epithet “Tiger of Kai.” It forms a pair with a work themed on Uesugi Kenshin, known by the epithet “Dragon of Echigo.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe crimson and platinum-silver tones express the process of rusting and discoloring over the passage of time.
