EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous military review parade at Aoyama in February 1889, during the Meiji period of Japan. The image, created by the talented artist Utagawa Kunisada II, showcases the grandeur and precision of the armed forces of that era. The scene is filled with an array of vibrant colors as cavalry regiments march through the streets on horse-drawn carriages. The soldiers, both male and female, proudly display their uniforms while showcasing their equestrian skills. Mount Fuji majestically looms in the background, adding a touch of geographical beauty to this historic event. As one sheet from a triptych of polychrome woodblock prints, this artwork exemplifies Kunisada II's mastery in capturing intricate details and conveying a sense of national pride. It serves as a testament to Japan's rich heritage and artistic tradition. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has preserved this remarkable piece within its collection, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of that significant day over a century ago. This photograph not only commemorates an important military event but also provides valuable insights into Japanese culture during the late 19th century. With every glance at this stunning print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how artistry intertwines with history and how moments like these shape our understanding of nations' pasts.
