The first three panels of the right screen depict of the Battle of Anegawa, with the Battle of Yanagase on the leftmost three panels. On the left screen, the Battle of Nagakute is on the rightmost three panels, and the Battle of Sekigahara closes the series on the leftmost three panels.
These screens are a replica of the originals, painted by artist Taki Akikata (1902–1979). The original screens, also by Akikata, are on display in the Maeda Tosanokami-ke Shiryokan Museum in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture.
