Kuroda claimed that the portrait of Yoshiakira (the portrait of Mitsuyoshi, unconfirmed) was newly drawn as an alternative of the portrait of Takauji (the portrait of Shigemori, unconfirmed) at that time, and the huge damage and the wrinkle of the fold on the portrait of Takauji means that it was folded when the portrait of Yoshiakira was drawn.
黒田は、この時に尊氏像（伝重盛像）の代替として新たに義詮像（伝光能像）が描かれたのであり、尊氏像に見られる大きな欠損や折りジワは、義詮像が描かれた際に尊氏像が折り畳まれていたことを示すものだとした。
