Takezaki Suenaga

First Name Takezaki
Last Name Suenaga
Born on November 30, 1245
Died on January 1, 1314 (aged 68)

Takezaki Suenaga was a retainer of the Higo Province, Japan who fought in both the Battle of Bun'ei and the Battle of Kōan during the Mongol invasions of Japan. Suenaga commissioned the Mōko Shūrai Ekotoba, a pictorial scroll showing his own valor in war, composed in 1293. During the Mongol invasion of 1274, Suenaga fought at Hakata under Muto Kagesuke. Suenaga sold his horses and saddles to pay for a trip to Kamakura to report his deeds in battle to the shogunate. To receive rewards for valor, others had to witness the deeds and report them directly to the shogunate. By his own account in the scrolls, Suenaga says, “Other than advancing and having my deeds known, I have nothing else to live for,” showing that, first, he wanted to advance in terms of measurable money and rank, and that, just as importantly, he sought fame and recognition.
