EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored woodblock print, titled "Kumagai Naozane and Taira no Atsumori at the Battle of Ichi-no-tani," is a captivating work of art from the eighteenth century of Japan. Created by the renowned artist Kondo Kiyoharu, this intricate print is a detail from a larger artwork, showcasing the intense and dramatic scene of the famous battle between the Minamoto and Taira clans. The print depicts two central figures: Kumagai Naozane, a Minamoto warrior, and Taira no Atsumori, a young Taira samurai. Naozane is depicted on horseback, his suit of armor glistening in the sun, as he charges towards Atsumori, who stands defiantly on foot, his horse tethered nearby. Atsumori's expression is one of determination and resolve, despite the impending danger. The print is a masterclass in the use of color and detail. The vibrant hues of the warriors' armor, the rich greens of the foliage, and the earthy browns of the battlefield all come together to create a vivid and immersive scene. The intricate patterns and textures of the armor, the horses' coats, and the warriors' clothing are all rendered with incredible detail and precision. This print is a testament to the artistic achievements of the Edo period (1603-1868), a time of peace and prosperity in Japan. The print is also a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the enduring legacy of its artists. The print is an uncut hosoban diptych urushi e, a type of woodblock print that was popular during the Tokugawa period (1603-1868). It is a rare and valuable work of art, and a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese art, history, or culture.
