EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking woodblock print captures a pivotal moment during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904, as seventy-seven brave Japanese soldiers make the ultimate sacrifice to protect their nation. The scene is set at Port Ryojun, where the soldiers, dressed in their naval uniforms, are seen boarding small boats with resolute determination. The ships in the background are being stopped, as the soldiers aim to create a blockade around Port Arthur, held by the Russian forces. The risks were high, as the soldiers knew that by attempting to blockade the port, they were putting their own lives on the line. The Russian fleet, with its superior firepower, could easily target and destroy the small boats carrying the Japanese soldiers. Yet, these seventy-seven brave men decided to take the risk, driven by their unwavering loyalty and patriotism. The print, created in the Meiji period, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during this significant historical conflict. The woodcut technique used in the print adds depth and texture, bringing the scene to life and capturing the intensity and bravery of the soldiers. The image is a testament to the courage and resilience of the Japanese Navy during this time, and serves as a powerful symbol of the sacrifices made in the pursuit of national pride and sovereignty.
