In 2019, Toshiaki TOYODA was arrested for the alleged unlawful possession of a handgun – that was in fact simply an old, non-functioning familial heirloom. He reacted to this incident by making this short period piece in which a mystic gathering of warriors takes place, scored by “Edo-punk” band Seppuku Pistols.
