What team are you using at the moment? Because depending on what swords you are using can either this event go smoothly or not.

If you have kiwame tantous, equip them with musketeers and catapults. For your leader, equip them with shields and elites (I highly reccomend using tachis that can hold 3 armors or if you have Hotarumaru because them in the leader position won't get attacked. But seeing you used Ishikirimaru... I feel you. my 99lvl Ishikirimaru leader got knocked out by 3 yaris after all my other swords bit the dust. All I can offer is just to equip armor that raises his defense or use someone else and hope for the best... ><; ). This set-up is what I'm using currently and it works wonders: Leader (3-armor holding Tachi or Hotarumaru with shields and elites), all 5 kiwame tantous with musketeer and catapults. Use to have Kiwame Horikawa, but he was a bit slow so I switched him out. The point is, get your fastest swords and try to have them knock the enemy out (except for Naginatas since they are MORE faster then us, argh...) if you can.

If you don't have kiwame tantous, use swords that can use projectiles like uchigatanas (I reccommend Izuminokami, Ookurikara, and Doudanuki (and Sengo, if you have him) because they can at LEAST withstand Naginatas and good defense then the other uchigatanas).

I'm not sure if you are a new saniwa or a veteran like me, so I don't know if this might help you... (I would also recommend looking through the comments and see what team set-up everyone uses and adjust accordingly to your situation to see if anything works). Also, Kotegiri Gou will show up in another event someday, so don't worry and maybe prepare for next time since this event this time is pretty much a HUGE killer, I have to admit...
