Description
The Battle of Itsukushima was a famous battle fought in 1555 between Motonari Mori and Harukata Sue (two well-known Samurai warlords). The action took place at the site now known as Isukushima Shrine, on Miyajima island. Moris army of 4,000 troops defeated Sues 20,000 men who had been dispatched to attack them from another direction. This special 33 piece Limited edition Maki-e fountain pen commemorating this famous 'Great Surprise' battle is by renowned Urushi artist Ikki Moroike.
