Kusunoki Masatsura The last stand of Kusunoki Masatsura at the battle of Shijo Nawate in Kyoto (1348). ABOUT THE BATTLE OF SHIJONAWATE The 1348 Battle of Shij?nawate was a battle of the Nanboku-cho period of Japanese history, and took place in Yoshinoko, Japan. It was fought between the armies of the Northern and Southern Emperors of Japan. The Southern army, led by Kusunoki Masatsura was attacked at Yoshino, the temporary palace of the Imperial residence. Feeling too weak to defend the residence, Masatsura marched out with his whole force to meet his assailants. Kitabataka Chikafusa, meanwhile, led his force towards Izumi, diverting some of the attackers away from the palace. Kusunoki engaged the enemy commander Ko no Moroyasu in single combat, and, it is said, was about to take K?'s head when he was struck by an arrow; Kusunoki then committed seppuku. The battle ended in a Northern Court victory, but the Southern Court fled Yoshino, leaving little for their enemies to capture.
