Samurai Kamakura Gongorō Kagemasa, the hero of the Kabuki theatre play Shibaraku.

The historical Kamakura Kagemasa is famous for his bravery for having continued to fight for the Minamoto clan after losing an eye in battle in the Gosannen W ar (1083–1087). In the play, when the evil lord has ordered his retainers to kill the imperial prisoners who will not obey his will, Kamakura Gongoro, who is capable of superhuman strength, appears with the shout “Shibaraku” (Wait a Moment!) and saves their lives.

Confederate General Robert E. Lee (January 19, 1807 – October 12, 1870) mounted on Traveller, a gray American Saddlebred horse. The horse that was his closest companion during the Civil War became his instrument in finding peace afterwards.

In a let ter dictated to his daughter shortly before his death, the old general described his beloved war horse. “I am no artist; I can only say he is a Confederate grey. I purchased him in the mountains of Virginia in the autumn of 1861. He has been my patient follower ever since — to Georgia, the Carolinas, and back to Virginia. He carried me through the Seven Days battle around Richmond, the Second Manassas, at Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, the last day at Chancellorsville, to Pennsylvania, at Gettysburg, and back to the Rappahannock…You can, I am sure, from what I have said, paint his portrait.” Traveller outlived Lee by only a few months.

Her husband's body was barely cold when she decided to avenge his death. On that day, she put on her best black satin kosode kimono richly embroidered with miniature floral patterns. Carrying the husband's swords stuck in her wide obi belt, she fearlessly came to the enemy's house. The cold steel was longing for a revenge. The big and heavy katana filled her movements with power and did its work. She was kneeling by the ashes of the ended war flying before her eyes, while the sakura tree was dropping the petals behind, like tears.
