Edo Ivory Netsuke of Samurai Gentoku Escaping On Horse
Gentoku was a general of the late Han Dynasty.
When the house of Han was in danger of extinction from the intrigues of usurpers, Gentoku made a pact with allies to organize forces and fight to restore the kingdom to its former glory.
Gentoku is the Japanese name for Liu Bei (221-222), who became Emperor of Shu in 221.
According to the novel, in 207/208 Gentoku travelled with his brother-in-arms, Uncho (Guan Yu) and Yokutoku (Shang Fei), to persuade the Taoist scholar Kômei (Zhuge Liang) to become his adviser.
Gentoku was often depicted in ukiyo-e prints in another episode from Romance of the Three Kingdoms, showing him with Uncho and Yokutoku swearing an oath of brotherhood while drinking wine in a peach orchard.
