The Northern Gate of Neo Edo

On the half-millennial anniversary of the Fall of Edo (1868), Tokugawa Yoshimitsu, a powerful descendant of the illustrious Tokugawa clan, pledged to resurrect the honor of his family name and restore the Tokugawa shogunate to its former glory, and beyond. Armed with advanced military technology and superior combat capabilities, his army of over 100,000 mercenary Neosamurai warriors blitzed the capital of Tokyo with wanton death and destruction. In less than three fortnights, Tokugawa and his legion of assassins would lay waste to five centuries of peace in the great empire of Japan (in what is now known as the Great Battle of Tokyo). With victory secured and the fulfillment of his ancestral vow, Tokugawa Yoshimitsu would claim his divine birthright and become Shogun of the Neo Edo empire. As his first royal edict – a megalithic monument was to be erected in honor the spirits of his late predecessors: The Northern Gate of Neo Edo (or Heaven’s Gate). 2024 JPEG 6744 × 8424 5.7 MB
