EDITORS COMMENTS
The Battle of Sanno Shrine, 1874" is a powerful and dramatic woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, created during the Meiji Era of the late 19th century. This full-length triptych depicts the brutal and violent clash between samurai from the Toeizan and Kaneiji temples, which took place at Sanno Shrine in Ueno Park. The image captures the intensity of the battle as men clash with swords, their faces contorted in anger and determination. The nighttime setting adds to the ominous atmosphere, with the moon casting an eerie glow over the scene. The use of color and tone is masterful, with splashes of blood and the contrasting white of the samurai's armor creating a striking visual impact. At the center of the composition, we see the historic figure of Amano Hachiro, a prominent samurai from the Toeizan temple, standing tall and resolute amidst the chaos. Flanking him are his loyal warriors, their faces etched with determination and resolve. On the opposite side, we see the men of Kaneiji temple, led by their own samurai, Taiso. This woodblock print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan and the historical significance of the Battle of Sanno Shrine. It is a powerful reminder of the violence and brutality that marked the end of the samurai era and the beginning of the modern Japanese state. The image is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese history, religion, or art, and is a standout addition to any collection."
