Yendo draws his sword... 1919. Creator: Unknown
Yendo draws his sword, when between him and the victim of his vengeance there darts the lovely Kesa, 1919. He raises his sword and seizes his aunt again, but he has no time to strike: the sliding of a screen, the rustle of a womans silken garments, and between Yendo and the victim of his vengeance there darts the lovely Kesa - his arm is stayed by her small hand, and, tremulous with agitation, a voice he has longed to hear for many lonely years says:
" Spare my poor old mother!" Illustration to " The Tragedy of Kesa Gozen", a story in " Romances of Old Japan", by Madame Yukio Ozaki. [Simpkin, Marshall, Hamilton, Kent & Co. Ltd, London, 1919]

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Yendo draws his sword. . . 1919" we are transported to the dramatic scene of a Japanese tragedy. The unknown creator skillfully captures the intense moment when Yendo, driven by vengeance, raises his sword towards his intended victim. However, fate intervenes as a beautiful woman named Kesa swiftly darts between them, her presence halting Yendo's deadly strike. The image is an illustration from "The Tragedy of Kesa Gozen" a poignant story featured in "Romances of Old Japan" by Madame Yukio Ozaki. Set in early 20th century Japan, the artwork beautifully portrays the internal struggle faced by Yendo as he confronts his past and seeks retribution. As our eyes delve into the details of this print, we witness not only the clash of swords but also a profound display of compassion and sacrifice. Trembling with agitation, Kesa pleads for mercy on behalf of her poor old mother - an unexpected twist that adds depth to this tragic tale. The use of color enhances the emotional impact within this composition. The vibrant hues bring life to each character and highlight their contrasting roles in this gripping narrative. Through its powerful imagery and evocative storytelling, this print transports us back in time to experience both the turmoil and tenderness present within ancient Japanese literature. It serves as a reminder that even amidst war and warfare, humanity prevails through acts of love and selflessness.
