EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Farce of the Death at stone bridge. . . October 1904" by Kobayashi Kiyochika takes us back to a significant period in Japanese history. Created during the Meiji period, this polychrome woodblock print is part of the series Hurrah for Japan! One Hundred Victories, One Hundred Laughs (Nihon banzai hyakusen hyashusho), which humorously depicts events from the Russo-Japanese War. In this particular artwork, Kiyochika skillfully combines satire and caricature to portray a comical scene. The image showcases a group of soldiers engaged in battle on a stone bridge. However, instead of depicting a serious conflict, Kiyochika presents it as an absurd farce. With exaggerated facial expressions and humorous details, he invites viewers to laugh at the folly and chaos of war. Kobayashi Kiyochika's artistic style shines through with his expert use of ink and color on paper. The vibrant colors bring life to every element within the composition while maintaining traditional elements reminiscent of ukiyo-e prints from the Edo period. This remarkable piece can be found in The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, serving as a testament to both historical significance and artistic brilliance. It offers us a glimpse into Japan's cultural heritage while reminding us that even amidst times of conflict, humor can provide solace and perspective.
