Uesugi Kenshin (1530-1578）was one of the many powerful Daimyo in the Sengoku period and legendary rival of Takeda Shingen, famous for his prowess on the battlefield, military expertise and strategy, who was a devotee of Bishamonten (God of War and Warriors) and believed himself to be the reincarnation of Bishamonten.
Sometimes Kenshin was referred as "The Dragon of Echigo" (Echigo is the old name of Niigata prefecture) because of his fearsome skills displayed on the battlefield.
This Tessen features the first character of Bishamonten, BI and the Kanji of Ryu (dragon).
