Statue of 楠木 正成 (Kusunoki Masashige)

Posted on November 22, 2015 by Stupidity Hole

This is the photo I used as my twenty-sixth entry for Leanne Cole‘s “Monochrome Madness“.

From what I’ve read, Kusunoki Masashige was a samurai remembered for his loyalty, among other things.

The statue is an incredibly powerful one, seemingly posed to evoke strength and bravery.

I hope you enjoy.

    Kusunoki is also known for an anecdote in which he sent his son home on his way to what was to him a losing battle, I think. I wrote a bit about it in September so I remember. I don’t know if it’s historically accurate but it’s just famous. Great photos.
