This hanging scroll is believed to be a talisman which Tachibana Muneshige brought along to military camps. The figure with three faces and six arms riding on a wild boar in the center is Marici, who was worshipped by samurai warriors as the goddess of war. The figure in armor riding a horse on the left is Shogun Jizo, who was worshipped as a deity of victory. The figure holding a rod on the right is Koyamyojin, who is the tutelary deity of Mt. Koya.
