Confused about which character that was at the end


About three minutes before the end of the film there are shots of feet walking up to retrieve a blade, causing a blood-stained sheet to blow away. A minute or so later there is a close-up of a face as the armor is rearranged.

Which characters are meant to be shown in these two shots?

Just the lower samurai, or clan staff, cleaning up the mess. They're meant to be anonymous, as they're just working for the 'machine'
