Ayano 綾野, Toyotomi Hideyoshi 豊臣 秀吉 (date Unknown, Taisho or early Showa)
This informal painted scroll depicts Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1537–1598) late in his life, dressed in luxurious garments, seated cross-legged in a room in Fushimi Castle Kyoto. In his right hand, he holds a tea bowl, before some food. In his left hand, he holds a katana sword. The saya is beside him. He appears to be straining to hear something to his right. Five other swords surround him. He was a great man who had become a paranoid tyrant.
