The warrior in this portrait has traditionally been identified as the first Muromachi shogun Ashikaga Takauji (1305–1358). Today, this identity is under debate. The upper part of the painting bears a cipher (kaō) by the second shogun Ashikaga Yoshiakira (1330–1367), indicating that it once belonged to his collection.
