EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases Iyeyasu, the illustrious ruler who left an indelible mark on Japan's history. Widely regarded as the greatest leader of his time, Iyeyasu's reign was marked by both peace and war, making him a formidable figure in Japanese history. Created by the English School in the 20th century, this artwork is part of a private collection. The image portrays Iyeyasu with an air of authority and wisdom that befits his reputation. It serves as an illustration for an edition of the Harmsworth History of the World from around 1910. The artist skillfully captures Iyeyasu's commanding presence, emphasizing his role as a pivotal figure during a crucial period in Japan's development. Iyeyasu rose to power in 1603 when he became Shogun, consolidating authority previously held by regional daimyo lords. His rule brought stability and prosperity to Japan after years of internal strife. However, it wasn't until 1868 that the shogunate system was abolished and power shifted back to the emperor in Kyoto. This lithograph print symbolizes not only Iyeyasu's legacy but also Japan's rich historical tapestry. It reminds us how one individual can shape nations through their leadership and influence. As we admire this artwork today, let us reflect on Iyeyasu's enduring impact on Japanese society and appreciate the intricate interplay between peace and war throughout history.
