The man wielding the sword in the center is Ushiwakamaru, later known as Minamoto no Yoshitsune.
According to legend, when Ushiwakamaru learned of his birth at the age of eleven (some say fifteen), he refused to become a monk and ran around Mount Kurama, where he was trained in the art of swordsmanship by a fleeing warrior wearing a tengu mask.
Kunitsuna was one of the pupils of Toyokuni the 1st and was active from c.1818~1860.
He had the talent to create the artworks of the warriors.
