		That is why the actor in this print plays a fictitious character named Akechi Mitsuhide, but in reality is the historical figure Takechi Mitsuhide.
		In the entry on these prints Timothy Clark notes: "Kanagaki Muromach Bundan was a version of Taikōki, the famous historical saga of the assassination in 1582 of the dictator Oda Nobunaga by his retainer Akechi Mitsuhide, who in turn was quickly destroyed by Nobunaga's general Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
		The prevailing distaste for the man emerged in sympathetic expositions of Akechi Mitsuhide's motives for treachery."(2) That's right: Mitsuhide had his motives and from a historical distance they seem rather sound.
