EDITORS COMMENTS
Sahyoenosuke Minamoto no Yoritomo Attacking an Enemy on Horseback" is a striking woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi in 1886. This artwork is part of Yoshitoshi's "Warriors Trembling with Courage" series, which showcases the bravery and determination of warriors from Japan's rich historical past. The print depicts Minamoto no Yoritomo, a legendary samurai lord and the first shogun of the Kamakura period (1185-1333), engaged in a fierce battle on horseback. Dressed in full armor, Yoritomo charges towards his adversary, a brown-clad enemy on foot, who appears to be losing the fight. The determined rider brandishes a long sword in one hand and holds a quiver of arrows in the other, ready to unleash a volley of projectiles if necessary. Two horses, their coats a mix of red and brown, gallop alongside their master, their ears pricked forward in alertness. The background is filled with the chaos of warfare, with the swirling smoke of battle and the clashing of swords creating a sense of tension and urgency. The intricate details of the print, from the calligraphy to the meticulously carved woodblocks, demonstrate Yoshitoshi's mastery of the traditional ukiyo-e (floating world) style. This beautiful and historic artwork offers a glimpse into Japan's Meiji Era (1868-1912) and the country's rich artistic heritage. Currently, this woodblock print can be found at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), adding to its significance as a cultural treasure and a testament to the enduring appeal of Japanese art.
