The Great Battle of Sekigahara,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, depicts the pivotal moment of the historic clash between the Eastern and Western armies in 1600. This masterpiece, created during the late 19th century, transports us back to the tumultuous Sengoku period (1467-1603) and the beginning of the Tokugawa shogunate in the early 17th century. The print showcases a panoramic view of the battlefield, with the frontline filled with an array of soldiers and horses, their determined faces etched with the intensity of the moment. The advancing forces of Ieyasu Tokugawa, led by Matsudaira Takechiyo, are seen on the left, while Ishida Mitsunari's troops, represented by a group of men with spears, are shown on the right. The smoke from the battle rises in the background, adding to the chaotic scene. Animals, such as horses and dogs, are also present, adding to the authenticity and energy of the image. The use of vibrant colors and intricate details in the printing process brings the scene to life, making it a testament to the rich heritage and artistic prowess of Japan during this era. This print is part of a six-print series, and its letterbox format emphasizes the vastness of the battlefield and the scale of the confrontation. The Great Battle of Sekigahara is a significant piece of Asian art history, showcasing the concept of feudalism and the military might of the time. This powerful and evocative image is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a testament to its enduring significance in the world of art and history.
