Kusonoki Tatewaki Masatsura (Warrior From the Book: Taiheiki)
A Japanese samurai stands on a cliff, dressed in armor with a predominantly white base and red and black accents. The armor features a striped pattern on the shoulders and chest. A black and red hat adorns the warrior's head. He holds a sword at his side. A quiver full of arrows is on his back. The background shows a beige sky with bare trees. Japanese writing appears on the left and in the top-right corner. The cliff's edge appears to fade into fog.
