Source Description
Minamoto no Mitsunaka (912-997) was considered the best archer in Japan during his lifetime. Once, while sleeping, he dreamed that Shôka (Ch. Jie Hwa [Chieh Hwa]), the daughter of the "Divine Archer" of China, Yôyuki (Ch. Yang Yeoki [Yang Yeo-ki]) materialized to present him with her father's bows and arrows. He appears here with his head bowed in sleep. Shôka is on the matching kashira, Walters 51.947.
