EDITORS COMMENTS
The Great Conference on the Conquest of Korea" is a striking and historic woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi in the 19th century. This image transports us back to the 16th century, during the Edo period, when Japan's feudal lords, or daimyos, gathered to discuss the invasion of Korea. The print showcases a panoramic view of the conference, held in the grand Nikko Toshogu shrine. The attendees, dressed in their finest attire, are deep in discussion, their expressions revealing the gravity of the situation. The central figure, Lord Hideyoshi Toyotomi, sits on a raised dais, surrounded by his most trusted advisors and military commanders, including Kato Kiyomasa, Matsudaira Takechiyo, and Masakiyo Mashiba Hisayoshi. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns of the kimonos and other clothing worn by the men add to the richness and depth of the scene. The use of black and blue tones creates a striking contrast against the red and gold accents, while the block printing technique adds texture and detail to the image. The historic significance of this print lies in its depiction of a pivotal moment in Japanese history. The conquest of Korea marked the beginning of Japan's expansionist policies, which would shape the country's relations with its Asian neighbors for centuries to come. This magnificent work of art is now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a testament to its enduring value as a cultural heritage piece. The image, with its sweeping composition and intricate details, continues to captivate and inspire viewers, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the rich artistic and historical traditions of Japan.
