EDITORS COMMENTS
Watonai, also known as Zheng Chenggong or Coxinga, is depicted in this stunning woodblock print from the Battles of Kokusenya Wa Tonai series. The image, created in Japan between 1806 and 1818, showcases the Chinese pirate and military leader riding triumphantly on the back of a tiger. The fierce animal represents his strength and power, while the group of musicians following behind symbolize the celebration and joy that accompanied his victories. Watonai was a formidable figure in East Asian history, leading the Ming loyalist forces against the Qing Dynasty during the late 17th century. After being exiled from China, he established a base in Taiwan and launched numerous successful attacks against the Qing navy. This print commemorates one of his most significant victories, which took place during the Battle of Kokusen-yama in 1662. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this woodblock print are a testament to the skill and artistry of the Japanese woodcut artists who created it. The use of traditional Japanese techniques, such as the application of multiple blocks for each color, resulted in a visually stunning and historically significant work of art. The print not only captures the essence of Watonai's military prowess but also highlights the cultural exchange between China and Japan during this period.
