A bit of background regarding the sketch in the centre. The war torn flags you see depict the flags that we're used during The Battle of Sekigahara.
The castle is that of the Edo Castle, where Ieyasu put together the Shogunate. It has been replaced by the Tokyo Imperial Palace, although some parts of the old Edo Castle still remains to this day.
The spiral like design of the Komainu is also included, the Komainu being the protector of the Castle to ward off evil spirits.
Please let us know your thoughts on the revised background.
Thank you again
